Explanation:

F = kx

mg = kx

(20 kg) (10 m/s²) = (1800 N/m) x

x = 0.11 m

Find weight of 45 kg at height 800 km from earth's surface?

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

<em>The weight is 348.4 N</em>

Explanation:

<u>Effect of the Altitude on the Acceleration of Gravity</u>

The effect of gravity decreases with altitude because greater altitudes mean greater distances from the Earth's center.

The practical formula to calculate the gravity as a function of the altitude h is:

$g_{h}=g_{0}\left({\frac {R_{\mathrm {e} }}{R_{\mathrm {e} }+h}}\right)^{2}$

Where go is the conventional gravitational acceleration = $9.80665\ m/s^2$

R is the Earth's mean radius at the equator = 6,378 Km

h is the altitude.

At a height of h=800 Km, the acceleration of gravity is:

$g_{h}=9.80665 m/s^2\left(\frac {6,378 Km }{6,378 Km+800Km}}\right)^{2}$

Calculating:

$g_h=7.74\ m/s^2$

The weight is the product of the acceleration of gravity by the mass of the object, thus:

$W=45\ Kg\cdot 7.74\ m/s^2=348.4\ N$

The weight is 348.4 N
