In Physics "Mass" and "Weight" are different terms. Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter something contains, while Weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object. Near the surface of the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is approximately constant; this means that an object's weight is roughly proportional to its mass. So "Gross Mass" and "Gross Weigth" is the same, its just a matter what to use to express a unit of mesurement.
