Question

Where is the value of $g$ maximum?

Answer 1

1. The equation for acceleration due to gravity is $g=\frac{GM}{R^2}$where, $R$ is the radius of the earth.
2. According to this equation, the acceleration caused by gravity is inversely proportional to the radius of the earth.
3. The acceleration brought on by gravity rises as the radius gets smaller.
4. The acceleration of gravity rises with radius.
5. The radius value fluctuates because the earth appears to be elliptical in shape.
6. Therefore, the acceleration caused by gravity is least at the equator and greatest at the poles.
7. At the poles, $g$ is at its highest value on the earth's surface because of the closeness between the poles and the centre of the earth.
