Variation of the gravity acceleration with the latitude and altitude
The propose of this work is an equation for the module of the acceleration vector of the gravity, varying with the latitude and altitude. For this purpose, the following values of the gravity acceleration were used, at the sea level: in the equator, g0 = 9,7803 m/s2, and in the latitude of 450,...

| description | The propose of this work is an equation for the module of the acceleration
vector of the gravity, varying with the latitude and
altitude. For this purpose, the following values of the gravity
acceleration were used, at the sea level: in the equator,
g0 = 9,7803 m/s2, and in the latitude of 450, gP = 9,8062 m/s2. The
terrestrial profile were assumed as being a revolution ellipsoid,
flattened in the poles, and the acceleration of the gravity varying
with the altitude, at sea level, was considered dependent of the
latitude too. |
