Best Answer

Your weight(force due to gravity) equals your mass times the acceleration due to gravity(g). g=G*(Mass of Earth)/(r^2) So (force@helens)/(force@sea level)= g(@helens)/g(@sea level)= [(radius of earth)/(radius of the earth+height of helens)]^2 radius of earth = 6378.1 km Altitude of mt helens = 2.55 km Your mass cancels out because it is equal regardless of gravity. So your weight at mt helens is equal to 99.92% of your weight at sea level. Hope that helps

Does density of an object change with altitude?

I am assuming that you mean mass of an object. The answer is no, it does not change. Mass (Density) stays the same wherever the object is, only its weight will change if the force of gravity is different.


What does weight mean in the scientific form?

Weight is the downward force exerted by an object because of gravity. Unlike your mass or inertia, your weight can change depending on where you are. For example, since the force of the Earth's gravity usually decreases with increasing altitude, you could expect to weigh a little less at the top of Mt Everest than you would below sea level near the Dead Sea or Lake Eyre.
