The discussion revolves around calculating the difference in gravitational acceleration at various distances above and below the Earth's surface, specifically focusing on when this acceleration is reduced by 10% compared to its value at the surface. The radius of the Earth is given as 6400 km.
There is an ongoing exploration of calculations, with one participant asserting a result of 320 km, while another suggests it should be 345.6 km. Participants are questioning the correctness of the formula presented and whether it aligns with the original poster's statement.
Some participants express uncertainty about the formula used and whether it has been accurately transcribed from the original problem statement. There is also a focus on the implications of the 10% reduction in gravitational acceleration.
Well, show us your calculations.TANMAI said:
100-10=90/100=0.9 means gh is 0.9 times of g therefore 0.9=2h/R which is 0.9=2h/6400That doesn't match the formula you have in the OP. Have you written the formula correctly?TANMAI said:fine
