The force of gravity acting on an object is also that object's weight. When you step on a scale, the scale reads how much gravity is acting on your body. The formula to determine weight is [source: Kurtus]: weight = m x g where m is an object's mass, and g is the acceleration...

An electric signal acts upon a coil, which electromagnetically pulls a metallic stem that is attached to the seat; the valve opens and allows flow. At the instant the external force (electricity) is removed, the magnetic field vanishes and a spring closes the valve. Common "actuated" ...
