find the height above the earth where value of acceleration due to gravity is the same as that at 20m deeper inside the earth
Suppose the height is h, so the acceleration due to gravity at that height is
and g at 20 m depth is given by
So for equal we have
Now putting the values of r and solving equation we get
Here negative sign does not mean any thing so the correct answer is 10 m.
