Question

    As we go from Equator to North pole

    thevalueof`S,theaccelerationduetogravity
    A remains the same Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B decreases Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C increases Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Theaccelerationduetogravityof earthistherateofincreaseofvelocityofabody fallingfreelytowardstheearth.Atagivenplace, the value of acceleration due to gravity is constant but it varies from one place to another place on the earth surface. It is due to this fact thatearthisnotaperfectsphere.Itisflattenedat the poles and bulges out at the equator. The value of 'g' is minimum at the equator and maximum at the poles
