Abstract
The different methods to determine the values of gravity within the Earth are reviewed. By using the equation and substituting the density values tabulated by Ramsay the variation of gravity has been computed (table 1 and fig. 1). The g value of 982 gal at the surface of the Earth is attained without any correction to the density distribution.
