Question 15 - 01 February - Shift 1
Given below are two statements :
Statement-I: Acceleration due to gravity is different at different places on the surface of earth.
Statement-II: Acceleration due to gravity increases as we go down below the earth’s surface. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
(1) Both Statement I and Statement II are true
(2) Both Statement I and Statement II are false
(3) Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Show Answer
Answer: (3)
Solution:
Formula: Effect of depth
$g _{\text{eff }}=g-\omega^{2} R_e \sin ^{2} \theta, \theta \to$ co-latitude angle
$g _{\text{eff }}=g(1-\frac{d}{R_e}), d$ here depth
