The value of G on the moon is about one-sixth `(1/6)`of the value of G on the earth.
If the value of g suddenly becomes twice its value, it will become two times more difficult to pull a heavy object along the floor. Why?
The CGS unit of G is dyne.cm2/g2.
The value of g is highest at the equator.
Write scientific reason.
The value of g at the centre of the earth is zero.
