if I weigh 141.2lbs at sea level what will I weigh 29,000ft above sea level
If I weigh 141.2lbs at sea level what will I weigh 29,000ft above sea level ?
29000 ft = 8839.2 m
Only Free-air correction:
Accounts for the 1/r^2 decrease in gravity with the distance from the center of the Earth:
g1=g( see level )=GMER2E
and in 8839.2 m
g2=g( 29000 ft above sea level)=GME(RE+8.8392 km)2
F2=F1⋅g2g1⋅⧸m⧸m
F2=F1⋅R2E(RE+8.8392 km)2=F1⋅63712(6371+8.8392 km)2=F1⋅0.99723094065
So we have 141.2lbs * 0.99723094065 = 140.809008820 lbs
