Question

What is the effect of rotation of the earth on the acceleration due to gravity?

Answer 1

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity is minimum at the equator and maximum at the poles.

At poles; φ = 90° g' = g

So, acceleration due to gravity is maximum at poles.

Hence, acceleration due to gravity decreases due to rotation while it increases due to increase in latitude.

Answer 2

$\huge\color{blue}{⭐Answer⭐}$

✔Acceleration due to gravity is minimum at the equator and maximum at the poles. At poles;

φ = 90° g' = g

✔So, acceleration due to gravity is maximum at poles. Hence, acceleration due to gravity decreases due to rotation while it increases due to increase in latitude.
