प्रश्न
The value of acceleration due to gravity
विकल्प
is the same on the equator and poles
is least on poles
is least on the equator
increases from pole to equator
उत्तर
is least on the equator
Explanation:
Acceleration due to gravity, g = `"G""M"/"R"^2`
As the radius of the earth is smaller at the poles as compared to the equator, the value of g is greater at the poles and is least on the equator.
