WRITE THE ANSWER, SOLVE IT CLEARLY
3. The weight of a particle varies with altitude such that W = m(gr)/r², where ro is the radius of the
earth and r is the distance from the particle to the earth's center. If the particle is fired vertically with a
velocity vo from the earth's surface, determine its velocity as a function of position r. What is the smallest
velocity vo required to escape the earth's gravitational field, what is the time required to reach the altitude?
