happy..abt it..
this was a question which i left cuz i didnt know :D and nowi did it :cool:

P.S. To avoid unnecessary confusions among members, i removed that post of mines :D
alright nice, but i dont know.. StoneBridge kind of seemed really knowledgable, so im feeling something is wrong , although it makes alot of sense to me.

Assuming that the Earth is a uniform sphere of radius 6.4 x 106 m and mass 6.0 x 1024 kg, find the gravitational field strength g at a point:
(b) at height 0.50 times the radius of above the Earth's surface.
g = GM / r2 = (6.67 × 10-11)(6.0 x 1024) / ( (1.5 × 6.4 x 106)2 = 4.34ms-2


this example I found in the revision section of this site ermmm could someone explain me why do we multiply the radius of earth with 1.5 but not 0.5 mmmm confused ?o_O anyone ?
