If the magnitude acceleration of gravity on the surface of earth is g, then at height from the surface equal to the radius of earth what will be the magnitude of g?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`implies g/ 4 rarr ` on surface `g = (GM_e)/(R_e^2)` , putting g. =`(GM_e)/((2R_e)^2)` in this equation `g. = g/4`
