Question

What kind of variation takes place in acceleration due to gravity when we move from the center of earth to the surface of earth.

Open in App

Solution

At the center of earth the value pf acceleration due to gravity is 0.
And as we move from center towards the surface of earth.
The acceleration due to gravity gradually increases and is maximum on the surface of earth.
