Problem

When the height hh above the Earth’s surface is very small compared with the Earth’s radius R (h≪R)R\,(h\ll R), the percentage decrease in the acceleration due to gravity is approximately a) hR×100%\dfrac{h}{R}\times 100\% b) 2hR×100%\dfrac{2h}{R}\times 100\% c) h2R×100%\dfrac{h}{2R}\times 100\% d) 4hR×100%\dfrac{4h}{R}\times 100\%
