Find the weight of a body at a height equal to the radius of the earth. The weight of a body at the surface of earth is 200 Newton.

Please solve.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

acc due to gravity at height h = R is

GM/(R+ h)^2 = GM/(2R)^2= g/4

if on earth its weighing 200 newtons then at h=R it will weigh 200/4 i.e 50 netwons
