Question

At sea level, the value of $g$ is minimum at

the poles

the equator

$45^{\circ}$ south latitude

$45^{\circ}$ north longitude

Answer

the equator

Explanation

Solution

Due to the rotation of the earth, the acceleration due to gravity for earth changes and at the equator, its value is given by $g' = g - w^2 R$ And at poles $g'=g$ $\therefore$ The value of acceleration due to gravity is minimum at the equator.
