If the weight of an object with mass m is given by W = mg on Earth's surface, what will its weight be inside an airplane at an altitude of 35,000 feet?
a. The same.
b. It will be slightly less because g is somewhat smaller at that height.
c. It will be slightly more because of the increased potential energy.
