    Altitude above Earth's surface
    At what altitude above Earth's surface would the gravitational acceleration be 4.4 m/s2?
    Help.

    equate the two to get:



    Cancel m to get



    here a is g (4.4m/s/s), G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Earth and g is the distance from the center of mass of the Earth.

    Should be easy from here.
