'The value of g remains same at all places on the earth surface'. Is this statement true? Give reason for your answer.
Answer
No, the value of 'g' is not same at all places on the earth's surface. The value of g varies from place to place so an average value is considered. The average value of 'g' is 9.8 ms-2 or nearly 10 ms-2. The value of g decreases with altitude and also with depth from the earth's surface.
The value of 'g' is maximum at the poles and minimum at the equator on the earth surface.
