When you move from equator to pole, the value of acceleration due to gravity (g)

Options

(a) Increases
(b) Decreases
(c) Remains the same
(d) Increases then decreases

Correct Answer:

Increases

Explanation:

g’=g-Rω². cos²λ
λ=0 at equator and 90° at poles
ge’=g-Rω²,gp’=g
g increases from equator to pole.
