◆ SurfaceGravityIng()

template<typename T >

T EGXPhys::SurfaceGravityIng	(	const T	massInkg,
		const T	meanRadiusInm
	)

Calculates the surface gravity, \(g\), of a celestial body in gs (Earth's gravity). The surface gravity is a product of the gravitational constant, \(G\), as well as the mass, \(M\), and mean radius, \(r\), of the celestial body:

\[g = \frac{GM}{g_{Earth}r^2}\]

.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_gravity and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_of_Earth

Parameters

massInkg	\(M\ (kg)\) Mass of celestial body in kilograms.
meanRadiusInm	\(r\ (m)\) Mean radius of celestial body in meters.

Returns: \(g\ (g)\) Surface gravity of celestial body in gs.
