You don't need to use attr_accessor or attr_writer to define methods ending 
with an =:

module Gravity

 @g = 9.81

 def self.g= value
  @g = value
 end

 def self.g
  @g
 end

end

If you want to use attr_accessor, you'll need to do so from the singleton 
class of Gravity:

module Gravity

  class << self
    attr_accessor :g
  end

end

I hope this helps
