Answer:
[tex]Weight\ loss=1.6321N[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Weight [tex]W=85.9kg[/tex]
Altitude [tex]h= 6.33 km[/tex]
Let
Radius of Earth [tex]r=6380km[/tex]
Gravity [tex]g=9.8m/s^2[/tex]
Generally the equation for Gravity at altitude is mathematically given by
[tex]g_s=9.8(\frac{6380}{6380+6.33})^2[/tex]
[tex]g_s=9.781m/s^2[/tex]
Therefore
Weight at sea level
[tex]W_s=9.8*85.9[/tex]
[tex]W_s=841.82N[/tex]
Weight at 6.33 altitude
[tex]W_a=9.781*85.9[/tex]
[tex]W_a=840.2N[/tex]
Therefore
[tex]Weight loss=W_s-W_b[/tex]
[tex]Weight loss=841.82-840.2[/tex]
[tex]Weight loss=1.6321N[/tex]
