Show graphically how the acceleration due to gravity varies as we move from centre of earth to a great height above the surface.

Inside the earth, the acceleration due to gravity increases linearly from zero to 9.8 m/s2 at the surface of the earth. Then it begins to decrease with height. For any height ‘h’, the acceleration due to gravity is inversely proportional to (R+h)2.
