Reply to comment by _Jaquen_Hgar_ in How would one calculate the gravity of a planet? by LoreCriticizer

Yeah but if you consider force=massacceleration, m2A=gm1m2/r^2 then A=g*m1/r^2 and A is acceleration from gravity which is the same as the formula you posted. Which is independent of the mass of the second object

I assumed the person who posed the question initially could get to this point algebraically.
