Calculate the percent weight reduction of the plane as it moves from the sea level to 11,719.342 m.

%(∆W) = 0.37%

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of gravitation which states that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers

F = Gm1m2/r^2

Where

F = force between the masses

G universal gravitational constant

m1 and m2 = mass of the two particles

r = distance between the centre of the two mass

Therefore, weigh of an object on earth is inversely proportional to the square of its distance from the centre of the earth

W₁/W₂ = r₂²/r₁² 1

W₂ = W₁r₁²/r₂²

At sea level the weight of the plane is W1 and at distance r₁ from the centre of the earth which is equal to the radius of the earth.

The radius of the earth is = 6378.1km

r₁ = radius of the earth = 6 378.1km = 6,378,100m

r₂ = r₁ + 11,719.342m = 6,378,100m + 11,719.342m

r₂ = 6,389,819.342m

W₂ = W₁r₁²/r₂²

W₂ = W₁[(6378100)²/(6,389,819.342)²]

W₂ = W₁[0.996335234422]

W₂/W₁ = 0.9963

fraction reduction of the weight is

ΔW/W₁ = 1 - W₂/W₁ = 1 - 0.9963 = 0.0037

percentage change :

%(∆W) = 0.0037 × 100% = 0.37%

Therefore, the percentage weight loss is 0.37%

most voltage drop calculators want the distance between the source and destination. then internally, they double it so both the source and return wires are calculated. but you need to know which distance the calculator uses so you're not half of what you should be or double what you should be.

most circuit breakers will not take a #6 directly, so the electrician will have to splice on a smaller pigtail. you also have to upsize the grounding wire when you upsized the ungrounded (hot) wire (see note in 250.122). this will preclude using most cable assemblies, as a cable with #6 copper will most likely only have a #10 grounding conductor. you need a #6 grounding conductor if the circuit is 20a. a #8 cable is no better, as it will have a #10 grounding conductor too. but most 20a breakers will take a #8 directly.

in your related post, you didn't say what type of load this is. if it is a light or heater, voltage drop won't be a big issue. if this is a motor, the current needs are huge at startup and the voltage drop can pose a problem. if this is a motor, knowing if the motor is under much load during startup will answer the voltage drop effect (a saw is easier to start than a compressor).

as technology advances, new experiments often expose problems in accepted theories. c
