This is hard to calculate precisely, due to the fact that Earth's density increases towards the center. However, you make a simplified calculation, by assuming a uniform density. Just calculate the ratio of the volume (and therefore, of mass) of a sphere which has half the radius of the Earth, and calculate the gravitational attraction (once again, you only need a ratio, compared to the complete Earth) on that object.

What is the field strength at a distance one Earth radius beyond the surface?
I assume you mean, of the gravitational field? The gravitational field is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. At a distance of 1 Earth radius, the distance from the center of the Earth is twice the distance at the Earth's surface; thus, the field strength is 1/4 what it is on the surface. If at the surface the field strength is about 9.8 meters per second square, divide that by 4 to get the field strength at a distance of one Earth radius from the surface.I assume you mean, of the gravitational field?

Why is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars is about one third the acceleration due to gravity on earths surface?
Because the acceleration of gravity on the surface of any given body depends on the mass of the body and its radius ... the distance of the surface from the center. Mars' mass ... about 11% of Earth's ... and Mars' radius ... about 53% of Earth's ... combine to produce about 38% of Earth's gravitational acceleration at the surface of Mars.
What do you need to know to calculate mechanical advantages?
radius of input, radius of output
What depth from surface of earth is value of acceleration due to gravity one fourth the value at the earth surface?
The force of gravity is proportional to the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. As a result, a gravity of one fourth that on the surface of the Earth would be observable at an altitude equal to the radius of the Earth, i.e. 6400 km. Note: This is up, in the air, not down, into the Earth. This distance is in outer space.In the other direction, the force of gravity gets smaller as one goes deeper into the earth. This is because the mass outside your current radius (as you descend) does not contribute. The mass inside your current radius is proportional to the cube of the radius. Gravity is proportional to this mass divided by the square of the radius. Therefore, gravity decreases linearly with the radius. So the acceleration of gravity is equal to one fourth its value at the earth's surface at one fourth of the earth's radius, or a depth of approximately 4800 km.
What is the radius of a sphere?
A radius of a sphere is the distance from its centre to its surface. It is also half of the diameter. If you know the circumference of a circle, you can calculate its radius. Circumference divided by Pi divided by 2 = radius.
Is equatorial circumference the same as radius?
No. The circumference is the distance around a circle or equaltor wheras the radius is the distance from the centre of a sphere (the centre of the earch if you will) to the surface. the diameter is twice the distance of the radius and is the distance from the surface of a sphere, through the middle point across to the other surface.
Calculate to 1DP the radius of a sphere when the surface area is 150?
The radius is 3.45
How do you calculate the radius of the sun to the moon?
You can't really calculate the radius of a distance. The radius of something is half the distance from one side of a circle to the other. And besides, the sun and moon aren't always the same distance apart. Their distance varies by season, time of the month, and even time of day.
