A body weighs 600 N600\,\text{N} at Earth’s surface. Using the approximation valid for h≪Rh\ll R, find its weight when it is 320 km320\,\text{km} above the surface. (Take R=6.4×106 mR = 6.4\times10^{6}\,\text{m}.) a) 570 N570\,\text{N} b) 540 N540\,\text{N} c) 520 N520\,\text{N} d) 600 N600\,\text{N}
