Question

At what height from the surface of the earth does the value of acceleration due to gravity be 2.45 m/s square where the radius of the earth is 6400 km



​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation: RADIUS OF EARTH = 6400X1000m =

ACC DUE GRAVITY ABOVE SURFACE OF EARTH = g' =2.45 m/s^2

ACC DUE GRAVITY ON SURFACE OF EARTH =g= 9.8 m/s^2

A/C TO FORmULA

g'/g=1-2h/Re

g'/g +2h/Re = 1

2h/Re =1- g'/g

2h= (1- g'/g)Re

2h=(1-2.45 /9.8)

6400X1000

2h = (0.75)6400X1000

2h = 4800000

h= 2400000
