MaRDI QIDQ6673989 FDOCommunityMathModDB WikidataQ30006 ScholiaQ30006QUDT quantity kind IDAccelerationOfGravity

Description

At a fixed point on the surface of Earth, the gravity results from the combined effect of gravitation and the centrifugal force from Earth's rotation. At different points on Earth's surface, the free fall acceleration ranges from 9.764 to 9.834 m/s2.
