i need to know the theoretically where the g factor came from?
g=9.8

The concept of "g" originated from Sir Isaac Newton's theory of gravity, which states that every object in the universe is attracted to every other object with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
The value of "g" is determined by measuring the acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface. This is typically done using a pendulum or free-falling object, and the average of multiple measurements is usually taken to account for slight variations.
No, the value of "g" can vary slightly depending on location on Earth. This is due to factors such as latitude, altitude, and geological composition of the area. However, these variations are typically very small and do not significantly impact the value of "g".
No, the value of "g" can vary greatly on other planets and celestial bodies due to differences in mass, size, and composition. For example, the value of "g" on Mars is approximately 3.71 m/s², while on the Moon it is only 1.62 m/s².
"g" is directly related to weight and mass through the equation F=ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration. The force of gravity (weight) acting on an object is equal to its mass multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (g).
