Just finished more Tw for space shuttle exercise

I just streamed a bunch of narration and a diagram related to exercise 10, p. 73, which asks about the relative strength of gravity for the space shuttle on orbit at 400 km altitude.

Diagram is to scale, big and nice, and might help you sort out a bunch of other gravitational questions. Go into the Tw stream and click on the link to Week 2 files.
