[QUOTE=DrHenley;74487]Because of the different centrifugal force, the gravity at the equator is smaller than that at the poles. So the precise gravitational acceleration is a function of latitude. They just took the gravitational acceleration at 45° Latitude (halfway between the poles and the equator) as the standard. Paris is at 48.86°, New York City is at 40.67°.
Poles: 32.26 ft/sē Equator: 32.09 ft/sē 45° Latitude: 32.17 ft/sē[/QUOTE Excellent, thanks!
