Expert Answer
Let m be the mass of the body . Gravitational force F acting on the body is given as
F = m g = m × [ (G M ) / R2 ] = 72 N ..........................(1)
where g is acceleration due to gravity on earth's surface , G is gravitatioal constant , M is mass of earth and R is radius of earth.
Gravitational force F' acting on the body at a height equals half of earths radius R is given as
F' = m × [ (G M ) / (R+0.5R) 2 ] = (1/2.25) m × [ (G M ) / R2 ] .....................(2)
Using eqn.(1) , Gravitational force F' acting on the body at a height equals half of earths radius R is given as
F' = ( 1 / 2.25 ) × 72 = 32 N
