Question

The value of 'g' is minimum:

• A. on hills
• B. at poles of earth
• C. at equator of earth
• D. in mines

Answer 1

The correct option is C

at equator of earth

The value of 'g' is minimum at the equator because earth is not a perfect sphere. Its radius is maximum at the equator. Hence according to equation g = GM/R² , the equator is the place where g will be minimum.
