Homework Statement


Possible reasons for a deviation from the accepted value for acceleration due to gravity in a vacuum are


Homework Equations



No real relevant equations

The Attempt at a Solution



• Wind
• Atmospheric pressure
• Air density
• Shape of the objects
• Size of the objects
• Surface area of the objects
• Material of the objects
• Magnetic and Electric interaction from different forces (has very relative little impact)
 
Physics news on Phys.org


the problems specifically says that it is in vacuum, so wind, air density and such is a no go :)
 


can u elaborate more on the answers? why do u think they should be included?
