You may have to convert from feet to miles several times in this assignment. You can use 1 mile = 5,280 feet for your conversions.

1.1. the weight of an object follows this equation: , where C is a constant, and r is the distance that the object is from the center of the earth.

a. Suppose that an object is 100 pounds when it is at sea level. Find the value of C that makes the equation true. (Sea level is 3,963 miles from the center of the earth.)

We are missing esential data. If instance, what equation do you mean? Repost with adequate data.

To find the value of C that makes the equation true, we can use the given information that the weight of the object is 100 pounds when it is at sea level, which is 3,963 miles from the center of the earth.

The equation for weight is given as W = C/r, where W represents the weight of the object and r represents the distance that the object is from the center of the earth.

Let's substitute the given values into the equation:

W = C/r

100 pounds = C/3963 miles

To get rid of the fraction, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3963:

100 pounds * 3963 miles = C * 1

396,300 pounds * miles = C

So, the value of C that makes the equation true is 396,300 pounds * miles.
