7.Gravitation
easy

As we go from the equator to the poles, the value of $g$

A

Remains the same

B

Decreases

C

Increases

D

Decreases upto a latitude of $45^°$

Solution

(c) We know that, $\mathrm{g}=\frac{G M}{r^{2}}$ where $r=$ distance from center of earth.

When you move from equator to poles, $r$ decreases and therefore acceleration of gravity increases.
