Question

weight of a body decrease with increase in distance from the earth's surface,why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Weight of a body, W = mg

Acceleration due to gravity, g = $GM/ R^2$

Since 'g' decreases with increase in radius of the earth ( ∵ $G$ ∞ $1/R^2$), the weight of a body decreases with increase in distance from Earth's surface.

Hope this answer helps !!
