what is the variations in acceleration
due to gravity due to shape of earth
Answers
Answer:
As the earth is an oblate spheroid, its radius near the equator is more than its radius near poles. Since for a source mass, the acceleration due to gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the radius of the earth, it varies with latitude due to the shape of the earth

Here is your answer...
Variation of g due to Shape of Earth As the earth is an oblate spheroid, its radius near the equator is more than its radius near poles. Since for a source mass, the acceleration due to gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the radius of the earth, it varies with latitude due to the shape of the earth. g p /g e = R 2e /R 2p
