Specialty Definition: ACCELERATION OF GRAVITY

DomainDefinition

Aerospace

By the International Gravity Formula, g = 978.0495 [1 + 0.0052892 sin2(p) - 0.0000073 sin2 (2p)] centimeters per second squared at sea level at latitude p. See gravity.The standard value of gravity, or normal gravity, g, is defined as go=980.665 centimeters per second squared, or 32.1741 feet per second squared. This value corresponds closely to the International Gravity Formula value of g at 45 latitude at sea level.Symbol g. (references)
