3. Read the following passage, and answer the following questions related to it:
The value of acceleration due to gravity of a body on Earth's surface is 9.8 m/s. It is
said that acceleration due to gravity has a constant value of 9.8 m/s. However since
Earth does not have a perfectly spherical shape (it is bulging at the equator and flat at
the poles), its radius is different at different places as explained in the following cases:
Value of 'g' at the equator: The radius of Earth is maximum at the equator;
thus 'g' has its minimum value at the equator (using the relation, g- GM/rº).
Value of g' at the poles: The radius of Earth decreases as one moves from the
equator towards the poles and attains its minimum value at the poles. Thus, the
value of g increases as one moves from the equator towards the poles and
becomes maximum at the poles. Therefore, we see the variation in the value of
acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface occurs due to the variation in
Earth's radius at different places.
As an object moves away from the surface of Earth, its distance (r) from the
centre of Earth increases. Therefore, according to the relation, g = GM/r?,
