Given the statement:
The weight of a body kept at a distance of 6400 km from the center of the Earth is 10N.
Determine the weight of another object at a distance of 12800 km.
Solution:
In order to determine the weight of the object, we simply needed to divide 12800 by 6400, then multiply the product to 10N.
= 12,800 / 6,400
= 2
= (10 N)(2)
= 20 N
Final answer:
= 20 N
