What is the Gravitational Acceleration at a Height Equal to Earth's Diameter?

[Chestermiller]

g*=0.11 x 9.81=1.079m/s^2.
Is that the answer?

What if I told you that 0.11111...= 1/9

What would your answer be then?

 

[Deebu R]

It can only be one of those!

Well yeah. I guess...what will I do if the options are like that?Should I go for option d?

Actually I got the answer as 1/9 but since the option given are in decimal form I divided it to get 0.1111...

Well, 9.81/9 = 1.09

 

[Deebu R]

Well, 9.81/9 = 1.09

OHHHHHHH! I did not think of that. This is mind blowing. I am happy. Thank you very much for your time and effort. It felt really really nice.

In the end there was no complicated calculation. It was way more simple than I thought. I felt like I just watched a suspense thriller. Thank you guys very much for helping me.

You got there in the end, but effectively all you had to do was:

Gravitational acceleration -> inverse square law -> 3x distance -> (1/3) squared = 1/9 x acceleration -> 9.81/9 = 1.09

You should really be thanking Perok and BvU, not me.

If you promise to work with symbols as much as you can I'm more than rewarded...
