Define acceleration due to gravity. Give the magnitude of $g$ on the surface of earth.
(N/A) Acceleration due to gravity is defined as the uniform acceleration produced in a body falling freely under the sole influence of the earth's gravitational force. It is denoted by the symbol $g$.
The magnitude of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth is approximately $9.8 \ m/s^2$.
