Question

The value of g is maximum at poles.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Expression for acceleration due to gravity is given by $g=\frac{GM}{R^2}$

as we know radius of earth at poles is minimum, so acceleration due to gravity will be maximum at poles because g is inversely proportional to $R^2$.

also net acceleration due to gravity is affected by centrifugal force due to rotation of earth.

so above statement is true.
