Table 1 provides data on the variation of a satellite's weight (W) with its radial distance (R) from Earth's center as it orbits Earth.

Find the gradient of the graph and hence determine the mass of the satellite. (Mass of Earth, M_E = 5.6 × 10^24 kg)

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
