The tallest spot on Earth is Mt. Everest, which is 8850 m above sea level. If the radius of Earth to sea level is 6359 km, how much does the gravitational field strength change between the sea level value at that location (9.826 N/kg) and the top of Mt. Everest?
According to legend, Galileo Galilei dropped two balls of different mass from the top of the leaning tower of Pisa in 1589. Whether or not this public experiment ever took place, Galileo was able to demonstrate that, contrary to Aristotle’s teaching, all bodies fall at the same rate regardless of mass, assuming that one is not so tenuous that it is slowed by air resistance. In this experiment, an equation is presented relating the acceleration of gravity at Earth’s surface, g, to the height that an object falls from, h, and the time it takes the object to reach the ground, t. Gravity acceleration at Earth’s surface has been measured many times. In British Imperial Units, Small Metric Units, and Large Metric Units, the standard values of g are: g = 32 feet per second-squared (ft/s2) g = 980 centimeters per second-squared (cm/s2) g = 9.8 meters per second-squared (m/s2). Theory Newton succeeded in explaining gravitational acceleration using his Laws of…
