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

At sea level g=9.81 ms-2, and his weight is mg giving 98180=785N

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.
