Check Mark

Answer to Problem 36A

The weight of the body would be less in Denver that is 1.7 km above the sea level than the weight in New Orleans, a city at sea level.

Explanation of Solution

Weight of the same body in two different locations is different. The weight of the body would be less in Denver that is 1.7 km above the sea level than the weight in New Orleans, a city at sea level due less gravitational forces in Denver than in New Orleans. On moving from lower area to higher, the gravitational force decreases.

Conclusion

Thus, the weight of the same body in Denver is less than that in New Orleans.
