Newton's Law of Gravitation can be used to show that if an object weighs w pounds on the surface of the earth, then its weight at a distance x from the center of the earth is W(x)=wR2x2 (for x≥R), where R=3960 miles is the radius of the earth. Estimate the altitude at which a 120- lb pilot would weigh 119.5 lb
