Galileo made the assumption when he argued for the equivalence of the experience being below deck on ship at rest vs below deck on ship in uniform motion. (see passage below). By omitting the rotation of the Earth, Galileo was able to formulate a practical rule. Newton later elevated the rule into

Hey vorts, this is a question about weight. No advanced physics is involved. Suppose you have a surface with built in sensors so it will tell you the weight of an object placed anywhere on it. Assume the surface is flat and level and the acceleration due to gravity is everywhere constant. Will the
