Recently it has been shown that despite previous claims the
cosmological constant affects light bending. In the present
article we study light bending and the advance of Mercury's
perihelion in the context of the Newtonian limit of the
Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime employing the special
relativistic equivalence of mass and energy. In both cases,
up to a constant factor, we find the same results as in the
full general relativistic treatment of the same phenomena.
