Question

As we move from equator to poles, the value of $\mathrm{G}$

• A. increases
• B. decreases
• C. remains same
• D. information incomplete

Answer 1

The correct option is C

remains same

The gravitational constant:

1. $\text{'}\text{'}\mathrm{G}\text{'}\text{'}$ is used to denote the universal gravitational constant.
2. Its value is the same everywhere in the whole universe.
3. It does not change with the shape and size of the body, the distance between the bodies, or changes in the medium.
4. The value of $\mathrm{G}=6.67\times {10}^{-11}\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{m}}^2{\mathrm{kg}}^{-2}$.

Thus, as we move from the equator to the poles, the value of $\text{'}\text{'}\mathrm{G}\text{'}\text{'}$ remains the same.

Hence, option (C) is the correct option.
