COMEDK · Physics · 9. Gravitation
The acceleration due to gravity at pole and equator can be related as
- A \(g_e < g_p\)
- B \(g_e > g_p\)
- C \(g_e=g_p < g\)
- D \(g_e=g_p=g\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(g_e < g_p\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The acceleration due to gravity \(g\) at a point on the surface of the Earth at a latitude \(\lambda\) is given by the formula \(g_{\lambda} = g - R\omega^2 \cos^2 \lambda\), where \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity at the poles, \(R\) is the radius of the Earth, and…
