Find the percentage decrease in the acceleration due to gravity when a body is take from the surface of earth to a height of 32 km from its surface. `["Take" R_(e )=6.4xx10^(6)m]`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`1%`

Hint : Use `g_(h)=g(1-(2h)/(R_(e)))`
`therefore h lt lt R_(e )`.
