Question

Suppose you are standing on a tall ladder. If your distance from the centre of the ears is 2R. what will be your weight? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

R is the radius of earth . Hence, acceleration will be 1/4th times of acceleration at Earth's surface. Hence , weight of body at 2R distance from centre of earth will be 1/4th of weight of body at Earth's surface

hope it is help full

mark me as brain list

Answer 2

Answer:

1/4th

Explanation:

We know formula of Acceleration due to gravity at h height from the Earth's surface is given by g = g₀/(1 + h/R)²

Here, g₀ is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface.

h is the height from the Earth's surface.

R is the radius of earth .

A/C to question,

My distance from the centre of earth is 2R

So, my distance from the surface of earth is 2R - R = R

∴ g = g₀/( 1 + 1/1)² = g₀/(2)² = g₀/4

Hence, acceleration will be 1/4th times of acceleration at Earth's surface.

Hence , weight of body at 2R distance from centre of earth will be 1/4th of weight of body at Earth's surface.
