Gravity of Earth
text:
The gravity of Earth, denoted by g, is the net acceleration that is imparted to objects due to the combined effect of gravitation and the centrifugal force.
It is a vector quantity, whose direction coincides with a plumb bob and strength or magnitude is given by the norm g = ‖ g ‖. In SI units, this acceleration is expressed in metres per second squared or equivalently in newtons per kilogram. Near Earth's surface, the acceleration due to gravity, accurate to 2 significant figures, is 9.8 m/s (
