Explanation / Answer
* We know that F = mag = GMm / r2 r = GMm / F ** Initial acceleration ag = GM / r2 *** we know that r 1 / F F 1 / r2 so that one by fourth of its orginal weight decreases. **** one by fourth of its initialacceleration. so that one by fourth of its orginal weight decreases. **** one by fourth of its initialacceleration.
