Question: If a gravity determination was made at an elevation of 2 5 0 m in Grand Forks ND ( Latitude of ( 4 7

If a gravity determination was made at an elevation of 250 m in Grand Forks ND (Latitude of \(47.91957^{\circ}\mathrm{N}\), Longitude \(97.06821^{\circ}\mathrm{W}\)), what is the value of the free-air correction?
NOTE: Use the full FA correction equation; notice that you get a negative number for a positive elevation, however for positive elevations (above sea level) we have to use the positive of that FA corr \(^{2}\) value that you find... that is why the "super simple" FA correction gives positive numbers for positive elevations.
