What are the factors that make ‘g’ the least at the equator? |
|
Answer» Solution :‘g. value is least at equator for the reasons 1) The equatorial radius of EARTH is maximum ` therefore g = (GM)/(R^2).g.` value value of .g. at equator is least because R is maximum. 2) Due to rotation of earth CENTRIFUGAL force acting on the bodies opposes gravitational pull of earth on the bodies. At equator centrifugal force is maximum. So .g. value is least at equator. |
