(3 marks Newton's theory of gravitation states that the weight of a person x feet above sea level is given by: Wone W() (R+2)2 where Wo is the person's weight (in lbs) at sea level (i.. r=0) and R is the earth's radius (in feet). (a) Determine the differential dW. (b) Suppose that a person weighing Wo-200 lbs at sea level is flying in a commercial airplane at 52250 it above sea level. If the earth's radius is R= 20900000 ft, use the differential in part (a) to approximate their change in weight. Interpret your result.
