Countless experiments near the surface of the Earth have shown that the force that the Earth exerts on a system with mass is the product of the system's mass (m) and the local gravitational acceleration (→g).where we have defined "up" as positive y-direction and the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration (g) is equal to **9.81 ms.** | Countless experiments near the surface of the Earth have shown that the force that the Earth exerts on a system with mass is the product of the system's mass (m) and the local gravitational acceleration (→g).where we have defined "up" as positive y-direction and the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration (g) is equal to **9.81 $\dfrac{m}{s^2}$.** |
