Question

Calculate the value of g.

[ G = 6.7 x 10-11 N m2 kg-2 , M = 6 x 1024 kg , R = 6.4x 106 m ]​

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of g is 9.8$m / s^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given here to calculate the value of g. The acceleration due to gravity (g) can be calculated by the following formula;

Here we have the G = universal gravitation constant

R = respective Earth's radius

M = The total mass of Earth

$g = \frac{GM}{R^{2} }$

∴ $g = \frac{6.7 *10^{-11}*6*10^{24} }{(6.4*10^{6})^{2} }$

⇒ g = 9.8 $m / s^{2}$

Hence the calculated value of g is 9.8$m / s^{2}$
