Solution

  • The value of g on the surface of earth is roughly 9.8 m/s^2.
  • Its value varies slightly from equator to poles.
  • The value of g at equator is minimum and at poles is maximum.
  • As the value of g slightly varies from poles to equator, its value is treated as constant and equal to the value of 9.8 m/s^2.
