Question : As we go from the Equator to the North Pole value of 'g', the acceleration due to gravity
Option 1: remains same
Option 2: decreases
Option 3: increases
Option 4: None of the above
Correct Answer: increases
Solution : The correct option is increases.
When moving from the equator towards the pole, the acceleration due to gravity (g) increases. This is because the Earth is not a perfect sphere but rather slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator. The centrifugal force caused by Earth's rotation is responsible for this difference.
