Question

An object has a mass 60 kg on the Earth's surface. The object is taken to a point 4 times the Earth's radius from the Earth's center. What is the object's mass at this point?

Answer 1

Given that the mass of the object, m = 60 kg, and the distance from the earth's surface is, h = 4R.

We have to find mass at this height.

The mass of the object is 60 kg as mass is constant irrespective of height.
