Hi,
After doing some past papers I noticed they don't often tell you to use g=9.8m/s^2 or g=10m/s^2. In the answer's they sometimes use g=9.8m/s^2 and other times g=10m/s^2. So what should I use? Any past engineering students what did you guys use? Should I just state assuming g=xm/s^2 and go on with that.
Thanks

Well if they don't mention it any would be fine. They're not gonna mark you down for something so trivial especially since they didn't provide a value.

I would use 9.8 as technically that is the correct one, so you 100% know you can't go wrong there.
