The acceleration due to gravity at a height h above the surface of the earth is the same as its value at a depth d below the earth's surface . Find the relationship between d and h. |

Answer» SOLUTION :Acceleration due to GRAVITY at a height , `g_1=g(1-(2H)/R),` where R=radius of the EARTH ALSO, the value of acceleration due to gravity at a depth d. `g_2=g(1-d/R)` Given `g_1=g_2 or, g(1-(2h)/R)=g(1-d/R) or, d=2h`. |
