How the value of g changes as one moves from equator to pole?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand how the value of gravitational acceleration \( g \) changes as one moves from the equator to the poles, we can analyze the relationship between \( g \) and latitude \( \lambda \). Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Understanding the Formula The formula that relates the acceleration due to gravity \( g \) at a latitude \( \lambda \) is given by: \[ g_\lambda = g - r \omega^2 \cos \lambda \] where: ...
