If a body is kept at a place where apparant gravity is g' then weight is mass*g'. This weight might be balanced by normal force in most of the cases but there may be cases when weight is not equal to normal force. Suppose you are pulling water from a well using pully. In this case the string will be pulling you upwards and hence normal will be les than the weight.
