    G = (G*M) / r²

    g-acceleration due the gravity, g=?

    G-the universal gravitational constant, G=6.673x10^ (-11) N*m²/kg²

    M-the mass of the earth, M=5.98x10^ (24) kg

    r-the radius of the earth, r=6370km=6370000m

    g = (6.673x10^ (-11) N*m²/kg²) * (5.98x10^ (24) kg) / (6370000m) ²

    g=9.834m/s²
