1) use formula
g'=g/(1+h/r)^2
=g/(1+12800/6400)^2
=g/(1+2)^2
=g/9 m/sec^2
hence acceleration due to gravity at 12800km height is g/9 m/sec^2
ii) Newton law of gravitation :-sir issac Newton say that gravitational force must be exist between two body present in the universe which is directly proportional to product of mass of the bodies and inversely proportional to square of separation between two bodies .e.g.
let M and m are two bodies and r is the separation between these bodies
according to Newton law ,
F=GMm/r^2
where G is known as gravitational constant .
