At what depth from the surface of the earth, the acceleration due to gravity will be `(1)/(4)` th the value of g on the surface of the earth ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the depth from the surface of the Earth at which the acceleration due to gravity is one-fourth the value of \( g \) on the surface, we can use the formula for the acceleration due to gravity at a depth \( d \): \[ g' = g \left(1 - \frac{d}{R_e}\right) \] where: - \( g' \) is the acceleration due to gravity at depth \( d \), ...
