Chapter 1, Problem 1/9(choose chapter or problem)
A space shuttle is in a circular orbit at an altitude of \(200 \mathrm{mi}\). Calculate the absolute value of g at this altitude and determine the corresponding weight of a shuttle passenger who weighs \(180 \mathrm{lb}\) when standing on the surface of the earth at a latitude of \(45^{\circ}\). Are the terms "zero-g" and "weightless," which are sometimes used to describe conditions aboard orbiting spacecraft, correct in the absolute sense?
