(a) According to the formula g′=g(1-R2h), acceleration decreases.
where h is the height and R is the earth’s radius
(b) According to the formula g′=g(1−Rd),, acceleration decreases.
where d is the depth and R is the earth’s radius
Choose the correct alternative:
(a) Acceleration due to gravity increases/decreases with increasing altitude.
(b) Acceleration due to gravity increases/decreases with increasing depth (assume the earth to be a sphere of uniform density).
(a) Acceleration due to gravity increases/decreases with increasing altitude.
