Calculate the effective value of g, the acceleration of gravity, at 6700 m , above the Earth's surface. g

The effective value of g at 6700 m above the Earth's surface is 9.79 m/s².

Explanation:

The value of g can be found using the following equation:

Where:

a is the acceleration of gravity = g

G: is the gravitational constant = 6.67x10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg.s²)

M: is the Earth's mass = 5.97x10²⁴ kg

r: is the Earth's radius = 6371 km      

Since we need to find g at 6700 m, the total distance is:

Now, the value of g is:

Therefore, the effective value of g at 6700 m above the Earth's surface is 9.79 m/s².
