Question

Where is the maximum value of g on the surface of earth? Why?

Answer 1

Answer:

The centrifugal force for the spinning of earth is maximum at the equator and vanishes at the poles. Thus, the gravitational acceleration (g) is minimum at the equator and it is maximum at the poles.

Answer 2

Answer:

The centrifugal force for the spinning of earth is maximum at the equator and vanishes at the poles. Thus, the gravitational acceleration (g) is minimum at the equator and it is maximum at the poles.
