In part a) the weight of the man at the top of the mountain is found to be 785 N.

At sea level <math>g=9\textrm{.}81\text{ ms}^{\text{-2}}</math>, and his weight is <math>mg</math> giving
<math>9.81\times 80=785\text{N}</math>

The difference is negligible and variations due to the fact that the earth is not perfectly round (spherical) create a larger error than the above approximate calculations.
