Question 283145: The weight of body varies inversely with the square of the square of its distance from the center of earth. Assuming that the radius of earth is 3960miles how much would a man weigh at an altitude of 1 mile above the earths surface? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The weight of body varies inversely with the square of the square of its distance from the center of earth. Assuming that the radius of earth is 3960miles how much would a man weigh at an altitude of 1 mile above the earths surface?
---------------
Different men weigh different amounts.
If he weighs W on the surface (3960 miles from the CG), his weight 1 mile above the surface will be
=~ 0.999495W
