To find the acceleration due to gravity in a mine of depth 640 m, we can use the formula for gravity at a depth below the Earth's surface: \[ g' = g \left(1 - \frac{d}{R}\right) \] Where: - \( g' \) = acceleration due to gravity at depth - \( g \) = acceleration due to gravity at the surface (9.8 m/s²) - \( d \) = depth of the mine (640 m) ...
