Question

b.
Derive the relation between acceleration due to gravity on and the earth and the moon
n?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Gravity of Earth

Unit profile

OVERVIEW

FORMULA

Gravitational acceleration constant

\text{g} = 9.81 \text{ m/s}^2

FROM THE WEB

The above acceleration is due to the gravitational pull of earth so we call it acceleration due to gravity, it does not depend upon the test mass. Its value near the surface of the earth is 9.8 ms-2. Therefore, the acceleration due to gravity (g) is given by = GM/r2.

Formula: g = GM/r2

Dimensional Formula: M0L1T-2

Values of g in CGS: 980 cm s-2

Values of g in SI: 9.806 ms-2
