Asked by Heart
A 1.25-kg book in space has a weight of 8.35 N. What is the value of the gravitational field at that location?
GIVEN:
m = 1.25 kg
W = 8.35 N
Therefore, they want the acceleration. Would I use this equation g = Fg/m?

Use weight = M g', where g' is the acceleration of gravity at that location.
g' = W/M = 6.68 m/s^2
That is less than the 9.81 m/s^2 value at the Earth's surface. The object is probably in an Earth satallite.
