Ok. I'm out. I thought about it in terms of a tug of war, couldn't figure out the answer, found the following video, and the...
-
My learning is a bit rusty. I can intuit the answer but I can't formalize it. What does the scale read? I say the scale reads 10kg...

haushofer replied to the thread B Gravity and speed of information for orbiting planets.I guess one should dive into post Newtonian expansions for this, but that's not my expertise; my world is (was) strictly Newtonian :P
