A body weighs 63N on the surface of the earth . What is the gravitational force on it due to the earth at height of 3200km from the earth surface ?Radius of the earth is6400

Respuesta :

Answer:

Weight of the body,W=63 N

Acceleration due to gravity at height h from the Earths surface is given by the relation:

g  ′ =  (1+  R  e ​   h ​  )  2   g ​  

Substituting h=R  e ​  /2, g  ′  =4g/9  

Weight of body of mass m at height h is given as: W  ′  =mg  ′  

      =4/9 mg

      =4/9×63=28 N
