The statements that are true about acceleration due to gravity, gg A. g\mathrm{g} is greater at poles. B. g value decreases with height. C. gg value is same all over the earth. D. g value is maximum at centre of earth.

Options

  1. AA\mathrm{A} and B\mathrm{B}
  2. BA and D
  3. CB and C
  4. DC and D

Correct answer

A. A\mathrm{A} and B\mathrm{B}

Step-by-step solution

Acceleration due to gravity is given by g=GMR2\mathrm{g}=\frac{\mathrm{GM}}{\mathrm{R}^2} As radius of earth at poles is minimum so, acceleration due to gravity will be maximum. Acceleration due to gravity at height h\mathrm{h} is given by g^{\prime}=\frac{g}{\left(1+\frac{h}{R}\right)^2}
