The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on an object of mass m at the Earth's surface is Fo=GMm, p2 where Mand R are the mass and radius of the Earth. Let's say the object is instead a height Y <above the surface of the Earth. Using a Taylor series or binomial expansion, find a polynomial expression in y for the force of gravity acting on this object, correct to first order (i.e., in this case, the lowest "non-trivial" order of the Taylor series). Fg = Submit Answer Tries 0/8 According to your approximate expression, how high above the surface of the Earth would you have to be if you wanted to weigh 3.0% less? Express your answer in terms of the radius of the Earth R. Submit Answer Tries 0/8
