Q1. Carlos weighs 900N on the surface of the earth. How much would he weigh in the satellite circling earth at an altitude of 3200km? (The earth's radius is 6400 km)

Q2. A light plane is headed due south with a speed relative to still air of 210km/h. After 1.00 hour, pilot notices that they have covered only 170km and their direction is not south but southeast (45.0°). What is the wind velocity?
