Question

How the shape of earth change the value of g?

Answer 1

We know that the value of 'g' depends upon the radius of earth(or any other body). As our earth is a bit flattened at the poles, the radius of the earth at the poles is less than that at the other places.As 'g' is directly proportional to 'r', therefore as 'r' will decrease the value of 'g' will also decrease at different places of the earth.

Answer 2

'g' depends on radius of earth.earth is a bit flattened at the poles and so the radius of the earth at the poles is less than that at the other places.'g' is directly proportional to 'r', therefore as 'r' will decrease the value of 'g'
