No.
Gravitational force F between Earth of mass Me and an object of mass m is given by Newton's law :
F = G Me m / d² , G = Universal Gravitational constant
d = distance between the object and center of Earth
The force is dependent on the mass of the object.
However the acceleration (variation in speed) of an object falling towards Earth's surface from a height is independent of mass. It is called acceleration due to gravity g. It is about 9.81 m/sec².
g = G Me/R² where R = radius of Earth.
So weight of an object = W = F = m g.
Clearly the weight or force on the object is dependent on the object.

click on red heart thanks above pls
this was not the answer that I wanted
but thanks
it helped
but this is what you asked... force is not independent of mass
no the expression was a=G×m/r²
