Problems Back to Top 1.Find the acceleration due to gravity on Earth? such that Mass of the earth(M) = 5.98x1024 kg, Radius of the earth(r) = 6378100 m? Step 1 : Given that: Mass of the earth(M) = 5.98x1024 kg Radius of the earth(r) = 6378100 m Acceleration due to gravity on Earth(a) = ? Step 2 : Substitue the given values in the formula: Gravitational Acceleration: a = GM/r2 a = (6.6726×10-11)×(5.98x1024) / (6378100)2 a = 39.86×103 /4068.02 a = 9.8 Answer : a = 9.8 m /s2 .
