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)

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