The gravitational force (in Newtons), exerted on an object by the earth varies inversely with the square of the object's distance from the center of the Earth. The radius of the earth may be estimated to be 3959 miles and an astronaut with a mass of 210 pounds weighs approximately 934.127N on the Earth's surface. Calculate the approximate weight of the astronaut (in Newtons) when he is 12 miles above the earth's surface.
