Greg! Do I have to come right out and call you a dummy (dumb-dumb;-) in order for you to see that the reason the kilogram is a constant (a _unit_ of mass) is because its weight (w), the force it exerts on a spring, or on an unequal arm, or pendulum balance scale, varies in proportion to the free fall acceleration (g) wherever they are; so that its Gravitational Mass (w/g) is a constant: Wherever they are!
When can I quit repeating this? How long will it take for it to sink in?
Gramp, Shead a'course.
