Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the percentage decrease in the weight of a body when taken 64 km below the surface of the Earth, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between weight and gravity The weight of a body is given by the formula: \[ W = mg \] where \( W \) is the weight, \( m \) is the mass of the body, and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. ### Step 2: Calculate the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the Earth ...
