Default The difference between weight force, and net force

_WEIGHT-FORCE_

Weight-force is the mutual pressure exerted between the terra firma surface
of
planets; like Earth and the moon, and gravitating masses [bodies of material
matter] "resting" thereon:

The magnitude of this weight-force [w] is proportional to the acceleration
[g] at
which the gravitating masses would free fall if they weren't restrained by
the terra firma surface:

At earth's surface the acceleration of free fall [g] has been found by
Galileo, Newton, et al to be about 32.174' per sec².

The weight-force [w] of any body, divided by one half the acceleration [g/2]
at which it will
free fall is a Constant [w/(g/2) = 2w/g]; which by extrapolation will apply
to any
body; on any planet!

_NET-FORCE_

Net-force is the net, resultant pressure exerted on, and/or by bodies
[masses] of material matter when they get in each other's way, and interfere
with each other's free inertial motion; causing a displacement in the
relative position, a distance [s] from where it would have gone, or stayed
if it had continued its inertial motion.

The magnitude of the net-force [f] exerted on, and/or by a body is
proportional to the rate of displacement [s/t² = a/2] that it causes.
Algebraically: f/(s/t²) = ft/(s/t) = ft²/s.

_SUMMARY_

Actually, since weight-force is just a special case of net force: We have
2w/g = ft²/s.

We can solve for the variables with algebraic transposition:

w = fgt²/(2s)
f = 2ws/(gt²)
s = fgt²/(2w)
t² = 2ws/(fg)
t = sqr[2ws/(fg)]
