Answer: True

The formula of weight is w = mg, where m is the mass and g is the acceleration of gravity. If you want to calculate an object's weight, you need to know the two components: mass and gravity.

You only need to know the mass of the object because the acceleration of gravity is ALWAYS (assuming the object is on Earth) 9.8 m/s^2.
