Question

If $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity at a place on the surface of the earth and $g^{\prime}$ is the acceleration due to gravity at a depth $h$ below the surface of the earth ( $h<\mathrm{R}$, the radius of the earth), then

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

At depth $h$, acceleration due to gravity is $g' = g(1 - \frac{h}{R})$.
