To find the acceleration due to gravity at a height of 64 km from the Earth's surface, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between gravity and distance The acceleration due to gravity (g) varies inversely with the square of the distance (r) from the center of the Earth. This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ g \propto \frac{1}{r^2} \] or \[ g = \frac{k}{r^2} \] where k is a constant. ...
