Question

Why is acceleration due to gravity maximum at the pole if the earth​

Answer 1

The value of g changes from place to place due to the elliptical shape of the Earth and the rotation of the Earth. Due to the shape of the Earth.

Hence, it is inversely proportional to the square of the radius.

Therefore, it is least at the equator and maximum at the poles, since the equatorial radius (6378.2 km) is more than the polar radius (6356.8 km).

That is, acceleration due to gravity is maximum at the poles .

I hope this helps you. Stay safe.

Answer 2

Explanation:

It is frequently stated that the value of the acceleration due to gravity at the pole is larger than at the equator because the poles are closer to the center of the earth due to the earth's oblateness. ... The measured value is larger because the earth's density is not uniform but increases toward the center.
