Why the value of g is maximum at poles? |
|
Answer» Min distance max force The\xa0value of \'g\' that is\xa0gravity\xa0is greater at the\xa0poles\xa0because the gravitational pull is\xa0maximum\xa0at the\xa0poles\xa0and decreases as it comes down toward the\xa0equator.\xa0Because the force due to gravitational attraction between two bodies (the Earth and the object being weighed) varies inversely with the square of the distance between them, an object at the Equator experiences a weaker gravitational pull than an object at the\xa0poles. |
