    Acceleration Due to Gravity Calculator

    Calculate the acceleration due to gravity at different altitudes using the formula:
    \( g = g_0\left(\frac{R}{R+h}\right)^2 \)
    where \( g_0 \) is the acceleration at sea level, \( R \) is the Earth’s radius, and \( h \) is the altitude above the surface.

    * Enter the altitude and (optionally) adjust Earth’s parameters.

    Step 1: Enter Parameters

    Example: 0 for sea level, 1000 for 1 km above sea level

    Default: 6,371,000 m

    Default: 9.80665 m/s²

    Derived Formula:
    \( g = g_0\left(\frac{R}{R+h}\right)^2 \)


    Example:
    For \( h = 0 \) m, \( R = 6,371,000 \) m, and \( g_0 = 9.80665 \) m/s², the calculated \( g \) will be 9.80665 m/s².
