प्रश्न
The value of acceleration due to gravity
पर्याय
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.

The masses of the earth and moon are 6 × 1024 kg and 7.4 × 1022 kg, respectively. The distance between them is 3.8 × 105 km. Calculate the gravitational force of attraction between the two?
Use G = 6.7 × 10–11 N m2 kg–2
The mass of the earth is 6 × 1024 kg. The distance between the earth and the sun is 1.5 × 1011 m. If the gravitational force between the two is 3.5 × 1022 N, what is the mass of the sun? Use G = 6.7 × 10–11 N m2 kg–2
The atmosphere consisting of a large number of gases is held to the earth by :
The gravitational force of attraction between two objects is x. Keeping the masses of the objects unchanged, if the distance between the objects is halved, then the magnitude of gravitational force between them will become :
An apple of mass 100 g falls from a tree because of gravitational attraction between the earth and the apple. If the magnitude of force exerted by the earth on the apple be F1 and the magnitude for force exerted by the apple on the earth be F2, then :
If the distance between two masses is doubled, the gravitational force between them becomes less than the previous force.
