Question

What are the factors that influence the value of 'g'?

Answer 1

Factors that influence the value of 'g' are following:

1. Altitude: the value of 'g' decreases as one moves away from the surface of the Earth.
2. Depth Below the Earth's Surface: the value of 'g' decreases if one moves towards the center of the Earth
   
3. Latitudinal dependence: the observed value of 'g' is minimum at the equator and maximum at the poles.
