Question

Gravitation variation of acceleration due to gravity 1

Answer 1

Variation of 'g' due to shape of the earth. Thus, the acceleration due to gravity at a place is inversely proportional to the square of the distance of the point from the centre of the earth. ... Hence acceleration due to gravity is maximum at the poles and minimum at the equator.

Answer 2

Variation of 'g' due to shape of the earthVariation of acceleration due to gravity. Thus, the acceleration due to gravity at a place is inversely proportional to the square of the distance of the point from the centre of the earth
