If two places at the same height from the mean sea level,One is a mountain and other is in air. At which place will 'g' be greater? State the reason for your answer.

Verified by Experts

g' value on the mountain is greater than 'g' value in air even though both are at same hight.
For a point on mountain while deciding the 'g' value, mass of mountain is also considered which leads to change in 'g' value depending on local condition such as concentration of huge mass at a particular place. Whereas for a pint in air no such effect is considered. Hence 'g' on the top of mountain is more.
