Question

Variation of acceleration due to gravity (g) with distance x from the centre of the earth is best represented by (R → Radius of the earth) (A)  (B)  (C)  (D)

The value of g is maximum at the surface of the Earth and g=0 at centre of the Earth. If one goes away from the Earth surface, again the value of g decreases. Thus, graph (d) is shouring the correct variation of g. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/physics/11d18f6663f4a9968d0057b5c38655f5-.png" />

Q. Variation of acceleration due to gravity $(g)$ with distance $x$ from the centre of the earth is best represented by ( $R \to$ Radius of the earth)

The value of $g$ is maximum at the surface of the Earth and $g = 0$ at centre of the Earth. If one goes away from the Earth surface, again the value of $g$ decreases.
Thus, graph (d) is shouring the correct variation of $g$ .
