Acceleration due to gravity increases as we go towards the centre of the earth.(a) True(b) FalseThe question was asked in an online interview.I'm obligated to ask this question of Acceleration due to Gravity below and above the Surface of Earth topic in portion Gravitation of Physics – Class 11

Answer» CORRECT option is (b) False

The best I can explain: Acceleration due to gravity decreases as we GO towards the centre of the earth because the volume enclosed by the RADIUS vector from the centre of the earth decreases as DEPTH increases. This reduction in volume leads to a reduction in enclosed mass and hence, the acceleration due to gravity is reduced.
