Gravitation Question 326

Question: The value of acceleration due to gravity on moving from equator to poles will

Options:

A) Decrease

B) increase

C) Remain same

D) become half

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) is given by

    $ [g=\frac{GM^{2}}{R^{2}}\Rightarrow g\propto \frac{1}{R^{2}}] $

    As one moves from the equator to the poles, the radius of the earth decreases, hence g increases.
