Danny Downs · Answer 1

What we call "heaviness" is almost always the object's weight, and

that weight is exactly the force of gravity pulling the object and the Earth

together.

So an object that's twice as heavy as 3 Newtons is an object whose weight

is twice as much as 3 N = 6 newtons.

I am thinking the answer might be 6N considering the second object would be twice as heavy.
