Hey buddy,
# Answer- g' = g/9 = 1.09 m/s^2
# Explaination-
Gravitational acceleration due to earth at distance r from earth's centre is given by
g = GM/r^2
At height equal to earths diameter
h = 2R
r = R+h = R+2R = 3R
Gravitational acceleration at h=2R
g' = GM/9R^2
g' = g/9
g' = 9.8/9
g' = 1.09 m/s^2
Gravitational acceleration at height equal to earths diameter is 1.09 m/s^2.
