Abstract
The different methods to determine the values of gravity within the Earth are reviewed.
By using the equation
g = g0 (r0/r)2 – 4/3 πGϱ r03–r3/r2
and substituting the density values tabulated by Ramsay the variation of gravity has been computed (table 1 and fig. 1). The g value of 982 gal at the surface of the Earth is attained without any correction to the density distribution.
