Algebra.Com's Answer #121106 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The weight of an object follows this equation: \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "since we have the radius in miles we have to convert 282 ft to mile:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "the reciprocal of r will take care of the neg exponent \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Substitute for C and r, subtract the dist below sealevel \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "w = 100.00273 lb; Means 100 lb weight in death valley is slightly heavier \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "A lot numbers to crunch here. Check my math on your calc. \n" ); document.write( " |
