Answer 1

Weight is dependent on mass and gravity.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of an object is defined as the force of gravity on the object and may be calculated as the mass times the acceleration of gravity,w = mg.

On Earth, the weight of the body (like any other object) is given by Newton's laws as mass times gravitational acceleration (w = mg). That is, the weight of an object is determined by the pull of gravity on it

w = mg

here mass is directly proportional to weight so as mass increases weight also increases.
