Answer

$a_g = \frac{0.2495~c^4}{G~M_h}$

Work Step by Step

$R_h = \frac{2GM_h}{c^2}$ We can find $a_g$ at $1.001~R_h$: $a_g = \frac{GM_h}{(1.001~R_h)^2}$ $a_g = \frac{GM_h}{(1.002001)(\frac{2GM_h}{c^2})^2}$ $a_g = \frac{GM_h~c^4}{(1.002001)(4G^2M_h^2}$ $a_g = \frac{c^4}{4.008004~G~M_h}$ $a_g = \frac{0.2495~c^4}{G~M_h}$
