Question

The weight of bodies may change somewhat from one location to another as a result of the variation of the gravitational acceleration g with elevation. Accounting for this variation using

the relation g = a- bZ, where a = 9.807 m/s? and b= 3.32 x 106 s², determine the weight of an 80-kg person at sea level (z = 0), in Denver (z = 1610 m), and on the top of Mount Everest (z = 8848 m).
