Question

The mass and radious of the earth are 6*10^24 kg and 6.4*10^6 m respectively. calculate the acceleration due to gravity at the top of Mt. Everest of height 8,848 m from the sea level. ​

Answer 1

9.74 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

g = GM / r²

g = (6.67×10⁻¹¹ m³/kg/s²) (6×10²⁴ kg) / (6.4×10⁶ m + 8848 m)²

g = 9.74 m/s²
