Question

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A: If we move from poles to equator, the direction of acceleration due to gravity of earth always points towards the center of earth without any variation in its magnitude.

Hence assertion is false. When θ=0° (at equator), effective acceleration is radially inward.

Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$ .

Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is NOT the correct explanation of $A$ .

$A$ is true but $R$ is false

$A$ is false but $R$ is true

Effective acceleration due to gravity is the resultant of $g & r w^{2}$ whose direction \& magnitude depends upon $θ$ . Hence assertion is false.
When $θ = 0^{\circ}$ (at equator), effective acceleration is radially inward.

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.

A is true but R is false

A is false but R is true

Effective acceleration due to gravity is the resultant of g&rw2 whose direction \& magnitude depends upon θ. Hence assertion is false. When θ=0∘ (at equator), effective acceleration is radially inward.
