Acceleration due to gravity is$ ‘g’ $on the surface of the earth. The value of acceleration due to gravity at a height of $32\, km$ above earth’s surface is ........ $g$. (Radius of the earth$ = 6400 \,km$)
A
$0.9$
B
$0.99 $
C
$0.8$
D
$1.01$
Solution
(b) $h = 32\,km$, $R = 6400\,km$, so $h < < R$
$g' = g\left( {1 – \frac{{2h}}{R}} \right)$ $ = g\left( {1 – \frac{{2 \times 32}}{{6400}}} \right)$
$⇒$ $g' = \frac{{99}}{{100}}g = 0.99\,g$
