To solve the problem of determining a person's weight at a height equal to the radius of the Earth compared to their weight on the Earth's surface, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Concept of Weight**: Weight (W) is defined as the force exerted on a mass (m) due to gravity (g). On the surface of the Earth, this is given by: \[ W = mg ...
