Question

Assertion : At pole value of acceleration due to gravity (g) is greater than that of equator.
Reason : Earth rotates on its axis in addition to revolving round the sun.

• A. If both A and and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
• B. If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
• C. If Assertion is true but Reason is false
• D. If Assertion is false but Reason is true

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Because of the rotation of the earth, the value of acceleration due to gravity changes. Due to this rotation, the value of ‘g’ becomes minimum at the equator and maximum at the poles.
