The value of acceleration due to gravity is maximum at poles and minimum at equator .why? |
|
Answer» The earth is not a perfect sphere, as it is flattened at the poles. As the earth is flattened at the poles, the distance between the core and the pole is less compared to the distance between the core and the equator. That is why g is more at the poles than the equator.Hope you understand!!? Earth is not a perfect square. Due to flattening of earth at poles the radius of earth is minimum at poles and hence the value of g is maximum in poles. On the other hand radius of earth is maximum in equator, hence the value of g is minimum at equator. |
