Acceleration due to gravity on body is independent of its mass. It depends only on mass of planet and distance between centre of earth and body
∴ Acceleration due to gravity on body of mass 3kg is also 5 m/s²
Mathematically,
Acceleration due to gravity = (G × mass of planet) / (separation)²
See? There is no term of mass of object.
