[QUOTE="pauladancer, post: 5448026, member: 590004"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] Ned climbs to the peak of Mt. Everest, the tallest peak on Earth at 8850 m above sea level. Ned's mass is 95 kg, the mass of Earth is 5.98 x 1024 kg, and Earth's radius is 6.37 x 106 m. What is the difference in Ned's weight when comparing his weight at the top of the mountain to his weight at sea level? [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] Fg = Gm1m2 / r[SUP]2[/SUP] g = Gm / r[SUP]2[/SUP] g = Fg / m [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] I think I have the field strength equal to 9.80 N using the equation g = Gm / r[SUP]2[/SUP] . After that I'm lost, I have no idea how to get his weight at the top of the mountain! [/QUOTE]
