One of your classmates, Kevin, is trying to calculate the acceleration due to gravity at the top of Mt. Everest. Looking at an equation sheet, he sees that the acceleration due to gravity is g = G M r 2. For G, he plugs in the gravitational constant. For M, he plugs in the mass of the Earth. For r, Kevin plugs in the elevation (the height above sea level) of Mt. Everest. Will Kevin arrive at the right answer for g at the top of Mt Everest?
