Question

determine an equation for acceleration due to gravity and calculate its value on earth surface
​

Answer 1

Answer:

gp/ge = R2e/R2p

Where ge and gp are the accelerations due to gravity at equator and poles, Re and Rp are the radii of earth near equator and poles, respectively.

From the above equation, it is clear that acceleration due to gravity is more at poles and less at the equator. So if a person moves from the equator to poles his weight decreases as the value of g decreases.
