Calculation of Gravitational Acceleration

Content Provider AK Lectures
Description The gravitational constant that we so often use in kinematics and dynamics can be calculated using the second law of motion and the law of universal gravitation. If we assume that the object is very close to the surface of the Earth, we can set the gravitational force due to the Earth acting on the object equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration. If we solve for the acceleration and plug in our known values, we will see that the gravitational constant is very close to the standard value of 9.80 meters per second squared. We can follow the same exact procedure and calculate the gravitational acceleration due to the Earths pull at the top of a mountain. Note that because the distance increases, the gravitational constant will decrease.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
