Incidentally, what is weight anyway? Suppose my mass is 80 kg. On the
Earth I weigh 176 lbs. On the Moon I weigh roughly 30 lbs. How much
would I weigh on an asteroid whose mass is around 100 kg? Technically, I can
compute the gravitational force, but does calling this my weight mean
anything? Where is the dividing line?
