Two persons A and B are trying to measure the value of acceleration due to gravity (g) of the earth. A goes high up in a ballon while B goes down in a mine. The value of 'g' measured by

A

A and B goes on incresing

B

A and B goes on decreasing

C

A goes on increasing and that by B goes on decreasing

D

A goes on decreasing and that by B goes on increasing

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

The value of g decreases, with increase in height as well as depth. Hence the value of g measured by both A and B goes on decreasing.
