An artificial satellite is moving in a circular orbit around the earth with a speed equal to half the magnitude of escape velocity from the surface of earth. R is the radius of earth and g is acceleration due to gravity at the surface of earth. (R = 6400 km).

Find the percentage decrease in weight of a body when taken 16 km below the surface of the earth. Take radius of the earth as 6400 Km.
