Please Answer Question No. (c) and (d) only.
In general relativity, gravity
changes time. Gravitational
potential = - G M / R. Time
change r = At/t = A/c². A
satellite (e.g., GPS) orbits 21 km
above Earth surface, and gravity
at the satellites are a little different
from Earth surface. The distance
error is Ad = c At. Ad is
km in one day
