An object weighing w(subscript 0) kilograms on Earth and is h kilometers above the sruface of the Earth. Then the function for the object's weight at that altitude is .
--------------
W(h) = Wo*(6400/(6400+h)^2)
-------
I cannot figure out how to use a table to find w for the h-values of 10, 20, and 100.
If h=10, w(10) = wo(6400/(6400+10))^2
= wo(0.9968823...)kgs
================
Follow the same patterm for h=20, then h=100
==============
Cheers,
