उत्तर
Let g' be the acceleration due to gravity in a mine of depth d.
\[\therefore g' = g\left( 1 - \frac{d}{R} \right)\]
\[= 9 . 8\left( 1 - \frac{640}{640 \times {10}^3} \right)\]
\[ = 9 . 8\left( \frac{10000 - 1}{{10}^4} \right)\]
\[ = \frac{9 . 8}{{10}^4} \times 9999\]
\[ = 9 . 8 \times 0 . 9999\]
\[ = 9 . 799 \ m/ s^2\]
