Can anybody help with this physics problem?

The range of a projectile depends not only on v sub0 and θ sub0 but also on the value g of the free-fall acceleration, which varies from place to place. In 1936, Jesse Owens established a world's running broad jump record of 8.09 m at the Olympic Games at Berlin (where g = 9.8128 m/s2). uming the same values of v sub0 and θ sub0, by how much would his record (in cm) have differed if he had competed instead in 1956 at Melbourne (where g = 9.7999 m/s2)?
