Question:
(a) Show that the rate of change of the free-fall acceleration with distance above the Earth’s surface is
dg/dr = 2GME/RE3
This rate of change over distance is called a gradient.
(b) If h is small in comparison to the radius of the Earth, show that the difference in free-fall acceleration between two points separated by vertical distance h is
|Δg| = 2GMEh/RE3
(c) Evaluate this difference for h = 6.00 m, a typical height for a two-story building.
