Question

The value of acceleration due to gravity at the surface of earth

• A. is maximum at the poles
• B. is maximum at the equator
• C. remains constant everywhere on the surface of the earth
• D. is maximum at the international timeline

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

is maximum at the poles

Answer 2

Value of acceleration due to gravity is
$g=\frac{GM}{R^{2}}$
At poles $R$ is minimum and at equator $R$ is maximum, hence $g$ is maximum at poles.
