Express the acceleration of gravity gh at an altitude h
Chapter 13, Problem 13.37(choose chapter or problem)
Express the acceleration of gravity \(g_{h}\) at an altitude h above the surface of the earth in terms of the acceleration of gravity \(g_{0}\) at the surface of the earth, the altitude h, and the radius R of the earth. Determine the percent error if the weight that an object has on the surface of earth is used as its weight at an altitude of (a) 1 km, (b) 1000 km.
