EarthlyLinearAcceleration

const PLAYRHO_CONSTEXPR auto playrho::EarthlyLinearAcceleration = Real{-9.8f} * MeterPerSquareSecond

Earthly gravity.

An approximation of the average acceleration of Earthly objects towards the Earth due to the Earth's gravity.

Note

This constant is only appropriate for use for objects of low mass and close distance relative to the Earth.
