Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the height at which the acceleration due to gravity decreases by 51% of its value on the surface of the Earth, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between gravity at the surface and at height The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the Earth (g) is given by the formula: \[ g = \frac{GM}{r^2} \] where: - \( G \) is the gravitational constant, - \( M \) is the mass of the Earth, ...
