Question 1168027
---------------------------------------------
weight, F, of a body on the moon varies inversely as the square of the distance, d,
from the center of the moon. 
----------------------------------------------


{{{F=k/d^2}}}




-----------------------------------------------------
If a person weighs 60 pounds when they are 500 miles from
the center of the moon,...
---------------------------------------------------


{{{k=F*d^2}}}

{{{k=60*500^2}}}

{{{k=60*250000}}}

{{{k=15000000}}}

-

{{{highlight_green(F=15000000/d^2)}}}


-------------------------------------------------------------------
 how much would they weigh at a distance of 1000 miles from the
center of the moon?
---------------------------------------------------------------


Substitute the given value and evaluate F.
