Whats the extended value of the acceleration due to gravity on earth?

0

usually denoted by g0 or gn, is the nominal acceleration due to gravity at the Earth’s surface at sea level. It is measured to be about 9.80665 m/s2 (approx. 32.174 ft/s2). This value was established by the 3rd CGPM (1901, CR 70).[1] [2] The symbol g is sometimes also used for standard gravity, but g strictly means the local acceleration due to gravity, which varies depending on one’s position on Earth (see Earth’s gravity). The symbol g should not be confused with G, the gravitational constant, or g, the abbreviation for gram (which is not italicized). The g (sometimes written “gee”) is also used as a unit of acceleration, with the value defined as above; see g-force. The value of g0 defined above is a nominal midrange value on Earth, representing the acceleration of a body in free fall (in the absence of air resistance) at sea level at a geodetic latitude of about 45.5°. It is larger in magnitude than the average sea level acceleration on Earth, which is about 9.797645 m/s2. Although
