Answer:
This is the acceleration due to gravity at a height above the surface of the earth. Observing the above formula carefully we can say that the value of g decreases with increase in height of an object and the value of g becomes zero at infinite distance from the earth.
Formula: g = GM/r2
Values of g in SI: 9.806 ms-2
Values of g in CGS: 980 cm s-2
Dimensional Formula: M0L1T-2
