To solve the problem of calculating weight at different heights above 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 product of mass (m) and the acceleration due to gravity (g). The formula is: \[ W = m \cdot g ...
