Chapter 12.1, Problem 12.2P

The value of g at any latitude ϕ may be obtained from the formula

g = 32.09 ( 1 + 0.0053 s i n 2 ϕ ) ft / s 2

which takes into account the effect of the rotation of the earth, as well as the fact that the earth is not truly spherical. Knowing that the weight of a silver bar has been officially designated as 5 lb, determine to four significant figures (a) the mass in slugs, (b) the weight in pounds at latitudes of 0°, 30°, and 50°.

At 45° latitude, the gravitational acceleration as a function of elevation z above sea level is given by g=a-bz where a=9.807 ms ² and b=3.32×10 6 s ². Determine the height above sea level where the weight of an object will decrease by 1 percent. Answer (29539 m)
The sea-level value for the acceleration of gravity at 45 deg latitude is: 9.81 m/s². O 9.8 ft/s². O 32.2 ft/s. O 32.2 m/s².
