Chapter 13, Problem 20P
Mile-high building. In 1956, Frank Lloyd Wright proposed the construction of a mile-high building in Chicago. Suppose the building had been constructed. Ignoring Earth’s rotation, find the change in your weight if you were to ride an elevator from the street level, w here you weigh 600 N, to the top of the building.
