Problema Solution

an object is 100 pounds when it is at sea level.

Find the value of C that makes the equation true.

(Sea level is 3,963 miles from the center of the Earth.)

Using equation below

w = Cr^-2

Answer provided by our tutors

W = C/r^2

Multiply by r^2:

Wr^2 = C

divide by W:

r^2 = C/W

Square root:

r = sqrt(C/W)
