Question

Acceleration due to gravity ---------- with depth from the surface of the earth.

• A. Decreases
• B. Increases
• C. Remains constant
• D. Data insufficient

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Decreases

$g=\left(\frac{4\pi G{\rho }_o}{3}\right)(1-\frac{d}{R})$ where ${\rho }_o$ is the density of earth,$R$ is the radius of Earth, $d$ is depth
So as d increases acceleration due to gravity decreases
