Which graph correctly presents the variation of acceleration due to gravity with the distance form the centre of the earth?

A

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

C

`g_(d)=g(1-d/g)`
or `g_(d)=g(R-d)/R`
or `g_(d)=(gy)/R or g_(d) propy`
So, within the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity varies linearly, with the distance form the centre of the earth. This explains the linear portion OA of the graphs.
