Gravitational attraction of a layer (Bouguer correction)
Input(s)
G: Gravitational Constant \(\left(\mathrm{N} \mathrm{m}^{2} / \mathrm{kg}^{2}\right)\)
\(\Delta \mathrm{z}\): Thickness \((\mathrm{m})\)
\(\Delta \rho\): Density Contrast \(\left(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right)\)
Output(s)
\(\Delta \mathrm{g}_{\mathrm{z}}\): Bouguer Gravity \(\left(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)\)
Formula(s)
\[
\Delta \mathrm{g}_{\mathrm{z}}=2 * \pi * \mathrm{G} * \Delta \mathrm{z} * \Delta \rho
\]
