Answer:
602.665 N
Explanation:
mass of man, m = 67 kg
height, h = 263 km
radius of earth, R = 6400 km
The value of acceleration due to gravity at this height is given by
[tex]g' = g\left ( 1-\frac{2h}{R} \right )[/tex]
[tex]g' = 9.8\left ( 1-\frac{2\times 263}{6400} \right )[/tex]
g' = 8.995 m/s^2
The weight of the person at this height is given by
W = m g'
W = 67 x 8.995 = 602.665 N
