A. \(\mathrm{g}\) is greater at poles.
B. g value decreases with height.
C. \(g\) value is same all over the earth.
D. g value is maximum at centre of earth.

  2. B A and D
  3. C B and C
  4. D C and D
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{B}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Acceleration due to gravity is given by \(\mathrm{g}=\frac{\mathrm{GM}}{\mathrm{R}^2}\) As radius of earth at poles is minimum so, acceleration due to gravity will be maximum. Acceleration due to gravity at height \(\mathrm{h}\) is given by…
