The statements that are true about acceleration due to gravity, g A. g is greater at poles. B. g value decreases with height. C. g value is same all over the earth. D. g value is maximum at centre of earth.
Options
- AA and B
- BA and D
- CB and C
- DC and D
Correct answer
A. A and B
Step-by-step solution
Acceleration due to gravity is given by g = GM 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 is given by g^ = g (1+ h R )^2
