Answer:

The height of the Everest mountain is, x =  8514.087 m

Explanation:

Given data,

The gravitational field strength at the top of mount Everest, gₓ = 9.772 m/s²

The formula for gravitational field strength is,

                               <em> gₓ = GM/(R+x)²</em>

Where, x is the height from the surface of the Earth

Therefore,

                                (R+x)² = GM/gₓ

                                     x = √(GM/gₓ) - R

Substituting the values,

                       x = √(6.67408 x 10⁻¹¹ X  5.972 x 10²⁴ / 9.772) - 6.378 x 10⁶

                       x =  8514.087 m          

Therefore, the height of the Everest mountain is, x =  8514.087 m
