Question

A body of mass m is raised to a height h from the surface of the earth where the acceleration due to gravity is g. If R is the radius of the earth and h<<R, then loss in weight due to variation in g is approximately,

a. 2mgh/R
b. 2mgR/h
c. mgR/h
d. mgh/R




Plz Give the answer in detail or, else you will be reported!!​

Answer 1

Explanation:

body of mass m is raised to a height h from the surface of the earth where the acceleration due to gravity is g. Prove that the loss in weight due to variation in g is approximately 2 mgh/R, where R is the radius of the earth.
