Problem

At a small height hh above Earth’s surface the decrease in acceleration due to gravity is Δg1\Delta g_1. At the same depth hh below the surface the decrease is Δg2\Delta g_2. Which relation between Δg1\Delta g_1 and Δg2\Delta g_2 is correct? a) Δg1=Δg2\Delta g_1 = \Delta g_2 b) Δg1=12 Δg2\Delta g_1 = \dfrac{1}{2}\,\Delta g_2 c) Δg1=2 Δg2\Delta g_1 = 2\,\Delta g_2 d) Δg1=4 Δg2\Delta g_1 = 4\,\Delta g_2
