Question

At which places on the surface of the earth, is acceleration due to gravity
(i) maximum
(ii) minimum
(iii) zero

Answer 1

Acceleration due to gravity 'g' decreases with increase in depth below the surface of the earth.

Acceleration due to gravity (g) is:
(i) Maximum at poles
(ii) Minimum at equator
(iii) zero at centre of earth

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Maximum at poles this is because

The distance between the surface of the earth ( at pole) and centre is smaller

Minimum at equator because the distance is greater as earth is bulged

Zero at centre because at the centre the mass is equally distributted in all direction
