Q A body weighs 63 N on the surface of earth . What is the gravitational force on it due to the earth at a height equal to half the radius of earth?

Weight of the body, W= 63 N

Acceleration due to gravity at height h from the Earth’s surface is given by the relation:

Where,

g = Acceleration due togravity on the Earth’s surface

Re = Radius ofthe Earth

Weight of a body of mass m at height h is given as:
