A) The gravitational force on a 60.0kg person on an airplane flying at 32800 ft would be approximately 0 N. This is because the gravitational force on an object is inversely proportional to its distance from the center of gravity. At this altitude, the gravitational force on the person would be so small that it would be undetectable.

B) The gravitational force on a 60.0 kg person midway between the earth and the moon would be 0 N. This is because the person would be located exactly halfway between the earth and the moon, and thus would be equidistant from both gravitational sources. Consequently, any gravitational force due to either the Earth or Moon would be cancelled out.
