- Homework Statement
- I have a formula and value of g but I don't know why can't I to calculate a height because everytime the result is bad.
- Relevant Equations
- h = (√(G * 10**-11 * M * 10**24)/g) - R
G = 6.674 - the gravitational constant
M = 5.972 - mass of the Earth
R = 6371000 - the radius of the Earth
g = 0.014 or 0.025 (I got a few results because of the different coordinates)
The result of h from my calculations is equal to about 162321138 when it should be about 400km or 400000m and I don't why.
