The value of acceleration due to gravity
(a) is same on equator and poles
(b) is least on poles
(c) is least on equator
(d) increases from pole to equator
Dear student
Gravitation or gravity is a natural phenomenon, by which physical bodies attract one another with a force, which is directly proportional to their masses.
The value of ‘g’ is maximum at the poles and least at the equator. The reason is, an object weighs about 0.5% more at the poles than at the Equator.
The answer is (c).
