Question

a) What will happen to the value of 'g' when move from equator to poles? Support your answer with suitable reasons.

Answer 1

Explanation:

It is flattened at the poles and bulged at the equator. So the polar radius is smaller than the equitorial radius. Hence g is slightly more at the poles than at the equator. Thus the value of g on earth is maximum at poles and decreases as we go from poles to the equator and is minimum at the equator.

Answer 2

Hence g is slightly more at the poles than at the equator. Thus the value of g on earth is maximum at poles and decreases as we go from poles to the equator and is minimum at the equator. also g decreses as we increase or decrease the distance of a body from the centre of the earth
