To determine the variation in the gravitational force of attraction with height, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Gravitational Force Formula The gravitational force \( F \) between two masses \( m \) (the mass of the object) and \( M \) (the mass of the Earth) at a distance \( r \) from the center of the Earth is given by the formula: \[ F = \frac{G \cdot M \cdot m}{r^2} \] where \( G \) is the gravitational constant. ...
