I live in lexington, KY, USA. Recently in a physics lab at the university i attend (Go CATS!!) i was presented with the question, what is our local gravity?

How does one calculate localG? average G seems to be 9.8m/s^2 however, due to the latitude and altitude, there is a small change.

anyone care to elaborate? thanx.


i may not be as smart as you, but atleast the girls don't care...
