a)
Answer to Problem 39P
Solution:
The value of acceleration due to gravity at above theEarth ’s surface is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Height =6400 m
Formula Used:
Acceleration due to gravity, g :
M is the mass of the planet, G is the gravitational constant, andris thedistanceof the point from the planet where g is required to be found.
Calculation:
Substitute the values and solve:
Conclusion:
Therefore, the value of acceleration due to gravity at above theEarth’s surface is
b)
