Come on PeterDonis.PeterDonis said:Still wrong. If you're getting any answer other than the one I gave, you're doing it wrong. This calculation has been done thousands of times by physicists and students in GR. Please consult a textbook.
[..]
$$
a = \frac{GM}{r^2 \sqrt{1 - \frac{2GM}{c^2 r}}} = \frac{GM}{r \sqrt{r^2 - \frac{2GM}{c^2} r}} = \frac{G M c}{r \sqrt{c^2 r^2 - 2 G M r}}
$$
Plugging in ##r = 2GM/c^2## then gives
$$
a = \frac{G M c}{\left( \frac{2GM}{c^2} \right) \sqrt{c^2 \left( \frac{2GM}{c^2} \right)^2 - 2 G M \left( \frac{2GM}{c^2} \right)}} = \frac{G M c^3}{2 G M \sqrt{ \frac{4 G^2 M^2}{c^2} - \frac{4 G^2 M^2}{c^2} }} = \frac{c^4}{4 G M \sqrt{1 - 1}}
$$
Note that if we choose units so ##c = 1## and ##G = 1##, this is identical to what I gave before. Also, of course, it is undefined.
Is this wrong?
##\frac{c^4}{4GM\sqrt{1-c^2}}##
and yours
##\frac{c^4}{4GM\sqrt{1-1}}##
But I didn't change c to 1. Still needs time to understand why we can substitute c with 1 (or even G with 1).
I made some error in calculating 2GM^2.
##2GM^2 = 2G^2M^2## it should be ##4G^2M^2## that's why I make a wrong calculation.
And it's not ##2GM^2## it's ##(2GM)^2##.
