A scientist can never prove something.
Certainly NOT with equations. The equations REPRESENT reality to some extent.
But only reality is real.
You have already given the two tests required and all that remains is for you to DO the experiment and discover if it is true or not.
Note that any attempt to demonstrate this using F = mg is using a circular argument. ie the formula is derived from the very result that you are wishing to demonstrate. Not a good scientific process.

Gravity is gravity....from nature and God.....recreating gravity to your whim would require greatest knowledge of nature and God. Mankind does not know this yet....our physics knowledge is too far from the truth...to understand fully where gravity comes from and how it perpetuates through masses.
