Tools exist for calculating the strength of gravity at various cities around the world. [16] The effect of latitude can be clearly seen with gravity in high-latitude cities: Anchorage (9.826 m/s 2 ), Helsinki (9.825 m/s 2 ), being about 0.5% greater than that in cities near the equator: Kuala Lumpur (9.776 m/s 2 ).
All that was needed to obtain a numerical value for standard gravity was now to measure the gravitational strength at the International Bureau. This task was given to Gilbert Étienne Defforges of the Geographic Service of the French Army. The value he found, based on measurements taken in March and April 1888, was 9.80991(5) m⋅s −2. [6]

Much of the Bible is in narrative form and in general, biblical narrative refrains from any kind of direct instruction, and in some texts the author's intent is not easy to decipher.
