1980 INTERNATIONAL GRAVITY FORMULA

The acceleration of Earth's gravity, a g, varies depending on the location and a g shall be calculated for a respective latitude, by means of equation (7-166):

ag = 9,7803267715 [1 + 5,2790414 × 10– 3 sin2 θ + 2,32718 × 10– 5 sin4 θ + 1,262 × 10– 7 sin6 θ + 7 × 10– 10 sin8 θ](7-166)

Where:

θ
  • Degrees north or south latitude
