Gravitational attraction of a layer (Bouguer correction)

Input(s)

G: Gravitational Constant (Nm2/kg2)\left(\mathrm{N} \mathrm{m}^{2} / \mathrm{kg}^{2}\right)

Δz\Delta \mathrm{z}: Thickness (m)(\mathrm{m})

Δρ\Delta \rho: Density Contrast (kg/m3)\left(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right)

Output(s)

Δgz\Delta \mathrm{g}_{\mathrm{z}}: Bouguer Gravity (m/s2)\left(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)

Formula(s)

Δgz=2πGΔzΔρ\Delta \mathrm{g}_{\mathrm{z}}=2 * \pi * \mathrm{G} * \Delta \mathrm{z} * \Delta \rho
