Question:
The gravitational acceleration on the earth varies with latitude and altitude as follows [19]:
where θ is the latitude and z is the altitude in kilometers. Use this information to determine the weight (in newtons and pounds force) of a 54-kg mountain climber at the following locations:
A. The summit of Kilimanjaro in Tanzania (3.07° S and 5895 m)
B. The summit of Cerro Aconcagua in Argentina (32° S and 6962 m)
C. The summit of Denali in Alaska (63° N and 6194 m).
How do these values compare with the mountain climber’s weight at 45° N latitude at sea level? Use spreadsheet software to perform all calculations.
