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.
