Acceleration Due to Earth Gravity
Description
Compute g, the acceleration due to gravity, as a function of
latitude.
Usage
gravity(latitude = 45, degrees = TRUE)
Arguments
latitude
Latitude in ^\circN or radians north of the
equator.
degrees
Flag indicating whether degrees are used for latitude; if set
to FALSE, radians are used.
Details
Value not verified yet, except roughly.
Value
Acceleration due to gravity, in m^2/s.
