The acceleration due to gravity is given as g = 32.125 ft/s2 and that its variation is 0.0049 ft/s2 per 1000 feet ascent. Compute for the height in feet and in miles above this point for which (a) the local gravity becomes g = 30.129 ft/s2, (b) the weight of a given man is decreased by 4.35% and, (c) the weight of a 225 lbm man at top of the Mt. Vinson. Note: The height of the mountain is 4,892 meters.

Question

The acceleration due to gravity is given as g = 32.125 ft/s2 and that its variation is 0.0049 ft/s2 per 1000
feet ascent. Compute for the height in feet and in miles above this point for which (a) the local gravity
becomes g = 30.129 ft/s2, (b) the weight of a given man is decreased by 4.35% and, (c) the weight of a
225 lbm man at top of the Mt. Vinson. Note: The height of the mountain is 4,892 meters.
