Re: What is weight? (was Re: Internal or external?)



*This is the same sort of misnomer as "gravimeter". A pan balance is
conventionally used on the surface of Earth. It compares the inertial
forces exerted on two masses, not the gravitational forces alone.

Would you expand on this please. What do you mean by inertial force? I do not
think of inertia as a force. You must have something in mind here that is not
clear to me.
