(a) Assuming the earth to be a sphere of uniform density, calculate the value of acceleration due to gravity at a point (i) `1600 km` above the earth, (ii) `1600 km` below the earth, (b) Also find the rate of variation of acceleration due to gravity above and below the earth's surface. Radius of earth `=6400 km, g 9.8 m//s^(2)`.
