percentage decrease in acceleration due to gravity is 2%
acceleration due to gravity of earth depends on height from its surface.
g = g0/(1 + h/r)²
given, h = 64 km, radius of the earth, r = 6400 km
so, g = g0/(1 + 64/6400)² = g0/(1 + 0.01)²
⇒g =g0/(1.01)²
decrease in g, ∆g = g0 - g
= g0 - g0/(1.01)²
= g0[ (1.01² - 1)/(1.01)² ]
now percentage change in acceleration due to gravity, ∆g/g0 × 100 = (1.01² - 1)/(1.01)² × 100 = 1.97 % ≈ 2%
