SOLVE THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM AND SHOW YOUR COMPLETE SOLUTIONS. EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING
SOLVE PROBLEM No. 1.19. and show your complete solutions and explain your answers for better understanding. Use the following data for Problems 1.17-1.21: mass of earth = 5.9742 x 1024 kg, radius of earth = 6378 km, mass of moon = 0.073 483 x 1024 kg, radius of moon = 1737 km. 1.17 A man weighs 180 lb on the surface of the earth. Compute his weight in an airplane flying at an elevation of 30 000 ft. 1.18 Use Eq. (1.4) to show that the weight of an object on the moon is approximately 1/6 its weight on earth. 1.19 Plot the earth's gravitational acceleration g (m/s²) against the height h (km) above the surface of the earth.
