The resistance (falsification) of it is given in the chapter II, resistance No. 14. (C) The thing which is three thousand six hundred pound on the surface of the earth and the distance of it from its center is half of the diameter of the earth. If a thing is put at a distance of half a diameter from the surface of the earth, it will weigh only 9 hundred pounds and on the full distance of the diameter of the earth above its surface it will weigh four hundred pounds and of the distance of one and half the diameter it will be 225 pounds and on the distance of two diameters above the surface of the earth it will weight only 144 pounds because the attraction goes on decreasing in proportion to the increase in the Square of the distance and so also the weight goes on lessening. It means at a distance equal to four and half a diameter it will be only 36 pounds and at the distance of five and half the diameter it will be 25 pounds and at nine and half it will be 4 pounds and at twenty nine and half it will be only one pound. Thus three thousand five hundred ninety nine pounds of weight will vanish away. And as per speculation the weight of a thing at the Equator will be less and as much you move towards the Pole, it will go on increasing because the attraction at and near is less and that is more on and near the poles. William Harshall has said: On the stars, means between Mars and Jupiter a man can jump up to sixty feet without any trouble. My Statement (49) If it is so, then on Eurenius he will be like a bird and will go on flying wherever he would like to. He further said that if the man falls down from the height of the sixty feet, he will not cause harm equal to falling down from a height of an arm on the earth.
