If the acceleration due to gravity at a height 1 km above the earth is similar to a depth d below the surface of the earth, then:
d = 0.5 km
d = 1 km
d = 1.5 km
d = 2 km
The acceleration due to gravity at a height (where ) is given by g_h pprox g(1 - \frac{2h}{R_e}). The acceleration due to gravity at a depth is given by . Given that : . Given km, we find km.
