Question
The value of acceleration due to gravity
(
g
)
at height
h
above the surface of earth is given by
g
′
=
g
R
2
(
R
+
h
)
2
. If
h
<
<
R
, then prove that
g
′
=
g
(
1
−
2
h
R
)
.

Solution
We are given
g
′
=
g
(
R
R
+
h
)
2
=
g
⎛
⎜ ⎜ ⎜
⎝
1
1

⎞
⎟ ⎟ ⎟
⎠
2
=
g
(
1
+
h
R
)
2
=
g
(
1
+
h
R
)
−
2
As we are given
h
<
<
R
, hence,
h
/
R
<
<
1
We can write
g
′
=
g
(
1
−
2
h
R
)
.
