To find the height from the surface of the Earth where the value of \( g \) becomes 40% of its value at the surface, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship of \( g \) with height The acceleration due to gravity \( g \) at a height \( h \) above the Earth's surface is given by the formula: \[ g' = \frac{g}{(1 + \frac{h}{R})^2} \] where: ...
