At what altitude, the acceleration due to gravity reduces to half of its value as that on the surface of the earth ? Take radius of earth as `6.410^(6)` m, g on the surface of the earth as `9.8 m//s^(2)`.

Explanation

To find the altitude at which the acceleration due to gravity reduces to half of its value at the surface of the Earth, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the relationship between gravity at height and surface gravity
The acceleration due to gravity at a height \( h \) above the Earth's surface is given by the formula:
\[ g_h = \frac{g \cdot R^2}{(R + h)^2} \]
where:
