Some communications and television towers are much taller than any buildings. These towers have been used to study how the Earth’s gravitational force varies with distance from the center of the Earth. Calculate the ratio of the acceleration due to the Earth’s gravity at the top of a tower that is 600 m tall to the value of g at the Earth’s surface. Hint: Keep four significant figures in your calculation.
