[Cz-physics] We need an article that defines the local gravitational acceleration of 9.807 metres per second

[David McKee]

That's been stuck up at
http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Acceleration_due_to_gravity

I'm not 100% sure that I've got all the crucial 'ornamentation' like
vectors right, for some reason the PDF and word document didn't
display identically for me (might be the software I'm using), so I've
made a best estimate. If someone could check it'd be great.

Cheers

Dave.
