Where are you stuck at?

anonymous · Answer

What equation do i use or how do i solve it?

anonymous · Answer

Well - I for one won't just tell you the answer, sry... 

The question is about some relationship of the weight and the accelaration upon an object at a given height. Do you know any equation/physical law that involves those?

anonymous · Answer

no that is what i need help with.
a equation to help me figure this out.

anonymous · Answer

How about you look through your lecture notes of the past week or the week before? I'm sure, you'll find it...

Hint: As you may already have guessed, it's called "Newton's (second) Law"
