Using Eq. 3.4 show that the acceleration due to gravity is given by:
where ME is the mass of the Earth and RE its radius (Fig. 3.13b). Note that g is independent of m, so it is the same for all objects on the surface of the Earth. (If you are adventurous, plug in the values of G, ME, and RE from the back cover of the book and see what you get for g.) Why is the value of g less on the surface of the Moon?
