Problem

A body is taken to a height

h

above Earth’s surface and also to an equal depth

h

below the surface, where

h\ll R_{\mathrm E}

. Which statement correctly compares the magnitudes of acceleration due to gravity

g_h

(at height) and

g_d

(at depth)? a) Both

g_d

and

g_h

are zero b)

g_d\;<\;g_h

g_d\;>\;g_h

g_d\;=\;g_h
