A mountain climber’s oxygen tank contains 1 lb of oxygen when he begins his trip at sea level where the acceleration of gravity is \(32.174~ \mathrm{ ft/s^2}\). What is the weight of the oxygen in the tank when he reaches the top of Mt. Everest where the acceleration of gravity is \(32.082~ \mathrm{ ft/s^2}\)? Assume that no oxygen has been removed from the tank; it will be used on the descent portion of the climb.
