The strength of the gravitational field is given by:
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
r is the distance measured from the centre of the planet.
In our problem, we are located at 300 km above the surface. Since the Earth radius is R=6370 km, the distance from the Earth's center is:
And now we can use the previous equation to calculate the field strength at that altitude:
And we can see this value is a bit less than the gravitational strength at the surface, which is
.
