The weight of a body at the surface of earth is \(18\,N\). The weight of the body at an altitude of \(3200\,km\) above the earth's surface is \(........\,N\) (given, radius of earth \(R _{ e }=6400\,km\) )
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(8\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Acceleration due to gravity at height \(h\) \(g ^{\prime}=\frac{ g }{\left[1+\frac{ h }{ R }\right]^2}\)
So weight at given height
\(mg ^{\prime}=\frac{ mg }{\left[1+\frac{ h }{ R }\right]^2}=\frac{18}{\left[1+\frac{1}{2}\right]^2}=8\,N\)
