m Location 1 has a gravitational force of 9.82 . Location 2 has a gravitational force of 9.80 . A shipment of 7,500 pounds (300 units at 25 pounds each) from Location 1 arrives to location 2. The total weight is short of 19 pounds. Please show computationally in thermodynamics terms that the weight is indeed short 19 pounds. Thank you!

Expert Solution
Concept and Principle:

When an object is dropped it is accelerated towards the center of Earth. This acceleration is caused by the gravitational force on the object due to Earth's mass. If we neglect air resistance then the net force on that object is called its weight. It is given by,

W=mg

Its vector quantity with direction downwards towards the center of Earth. m is the mass and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
