Variation in the value of g. |
|
Answer» Solution :The value of g VARIES BASED on the following a. Along the surface of the earth. * The earth is not perfectly sphereical. * It is bulged at the EQUATOR and flattened at the pole, due to its rotation. * The radius is highest at the equator and least and the poles. * Value of g is highest at poles `(9.832m//s^(2))` * Value of g is least at equato `(9.78m//s^(2))` b. Change with height. * As height increases, value of g decreases. * The change is negligibkle for height SMALLER than the radius of the earth. c. Change with depth * As depth increases, value of g decreases. * This is because, as we GO inside the earth, the mass under consideration decreases. * Hence value of g decreases. |
