HOW IS MAXIMUM VALUE OF GRAVITATIONAL ACCELERATION NOT AT THE CENTER? I heard it a couple of times now , can anyone Best of Best pls care to explain. Because what I found theoretically was that as soon as R ( radius of Earth) = 0 then gravitational force will be Unlimited

Answer: gravitational acceleration is maximum at poles.
Explanation:
Expression for acceleration due to gravity is given by g= GM/R^2
as we know radius of earth at poles is minimum, so acceleration due to gravity will be maximum at poles because g is inversely proportional to R^2.
Also net acceleration due to gravity is affected by centrifugal force due to rotation of earth.
So, gravitational acceleration is maximum at poles.
