Solve the following problem.
Calculate the acceleration due to gravity at a height of 300 km from the surface of the Earth. (M = 5.98 × 1024 kg, R = 6400 km).
उत्तर
Given: h = 300 km = 0.3 × 106 m, M = 5.98 × 1024 kg, R = 6400 km = 6.4 × 106 m, G = 6.67 × 10-11 Nm2/kg2
To find: Acceleration due to gravity at height (gh)
Formula: `"g"_"h" = "GM"/("R + h")^2`
Calculation:
From formula,
`"g"_"h" = (6.67 xx 10^-11 xx 5.98 xx 10^24)/([(6.4 xx 10^6) + (0.3 xx 10^6)]^2)`
`= (6.67 xx 5.98 xx 10^13)/((6.7)^2 xx 10^12)`
= antilog{log(6.67) + log(5.98) - 2log(6.7)} × 10
= antilog{0.8241 + 0.7767 - 2(0.8261)} × 10
= antilog{1.6008 - 1.6522} × 10
= antilog{`bar1`.9486} × 10
= 0.8884 × 10
= 8.884 m/s2
Acceleration due to gravity at 300 km will be 8.884 m/s2.
