Gravity, Weight, And Weightlessness (1963)

Explains the concept of weight and weightlessness, primarily in relation to gravity. It describes how weight is the result of gravity pulling objects down against the Earth, and how objects in free fall, like astronauts in orbit or during a roller coaster ride, experience weightlessness. The text illustrates this with examples, such as a cannonball being fired and falling in a curved path, and how a rocket launches astronauts into orbit, where they float due to the balance of forward motion and gravitational pull. It also discusses the challenges of living and working in weightless conditions, as well as experiments conducted to study these effects.
