What is the value of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the value of acceleration due to gravity (g) on the surface of the Earth, we can use the formula: \[ g = \frac{GM}{R^2} \] Where: - \( G \) is the universal gravitational constant, approximately \( 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{N m}^2/\text{kg}^2 \) - \( M \) is the mass of the Earth, approximately \( 6 \times 10^{24} \, \text{kg} \) - \( R \) is the radius of the Earth, approximately \( 6400 \, \text{km} \) or \( 6.4 \times 10^6 \, \text{m} \) ...
