Explanation:
g = GM/r^2 ------ equation1,
"G" is a constant of proportionality,
"M" and m are the two masses exerting the forces,
"r" is the radius of earth.
"g'" is gravitational acceleration at height H from surface of the earth.
g'= GM/(r+H)^2 ------equation2,
Now the calculation goes as:
Divide the equation1 by equation2,
g/g' = (r+H) ^2/ r^2,
4/1 = (r+H) ^2/ r^2,
2/1 = r+H/ r ===>> r=H,
The height above the surface when the acceleration due to gravity will be 1/4th of its value on the surface of earth is equal to “r”(radius of the earth).
