the mass of the object and the planet’s gravitational acceleration
Reason: near a planet’s surface weight (gravitational force on an object) is F = m·g. If you wanted the mutual gravitational force between two masses you would instead use Newton’s law F = G m1 m2 / r^2, which requires both masses and their separation.
