Acceleration due to gravity above the surface of earth

  • To calculate the value of acceleration due to gravity of a point mass m at a height h above thesurface of the earth.

 

Above figure shows the value ofacceleration due to gravity g at a height h above the surface of the earth.

  • Force of gravitation between the object and the earth will be
  • F= G mMe/(Re+h)2  where
  • m = mass of the object, Re = radius of the earth
  • g(h) = F/m = GMe/(Re+h)2 = GMe/[Re2(1+h/Re)2]
  • h << Re (as radius of the earth is very large)
  • By calculating we will get,

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

  • Conclusion: -The value of acceleration due to gravity varies on the surface, above the surface and below the surface of the earth.
