The acceleration due to gravity is the acceleration experienced by an object during free fall when in vacuum due to the gravitational force of the Earth.
The standard value of g is 9.8 m/s² on the surface of the earth.
We know that gravitational force F = GMm/ (r+h)²
Where F is the gravitational force,
G is the universal gravitational constant,
M is the mass of the earth,
m is the mass of the body,
h is the height of the object from the surface of the earth,
r is the radius of the earth.
AS h is very small in comparison to the radius (r) of the earth, therefore it can be ignored.
Now F becomes: F = GMm/ r²......(1)
We know that force acting on the body due to gravity is : F = mg.......(2)
Equating both the equations we get:
mg = GMm/r²
g = GM/r²
