Please help with HW. really appreciate all the help?

The distinction between m and weight was discovered after Jean Richer transported pendulum clocks from Paris, France, to Cayenne, French Guiana in 1671. He found that they quite systematically ran slower in Cayenne that in Paris. The effect was reversed when the clocks returned to Paris. Suppose you weigh 105 pounds in Paris. How much weight would you personally lose in traveling from Paris, where g = 9.8095 m/s2, to Cayenne, where g = 9.7808 m/s2?
