Question

Value of 'g' is greater at the poles of the earth than that at its equator
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Expression for acceleration due to gravity is given by g=

R

2

GM

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 above statement is true.
