Determined the mass to be 61.22 kg, then m = 61.22.
F = GMm/(R+h)^2 = (6.67e-11)(5.98e24)(61.22)/(6.37e6+1609.34)^2 = 601.48 N
601.48 N is the new weight at 1 mile above the earth? Shouldn't it be slightly less than the original of 600 N?
(61.22)(g) = 601.48, g= 9.82 < -- Gravity is...
1. In 1956, Frank Lloyd Wright proposed the construction of a mile-high building in Chicago. Suppose the building had been constructed. Ignoring Earth's rotation, find the change in your weight if you were to ride an elevator from the street level, where you weigh 600N, to the top of the...
