Question

The value of acceleration due to gravity is less on the top of mountains than on plains.Give reason

Answer 1

Explanation:

Many sources state that the Earth's gravity is stronger at the poles than the equator for two reasons:

1. The centrifugal "force" cancels out the gravity minimally, more so at the equator than at the poles.

2. The poles are closer to the center due to the equatorial bulge, and thus have a stronger gravitational field.
