**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Statement**: The statement in question is whether the value of gravitational acceleration (g) remains the same at all places on the Earth's surface. 2. **Evaluating the Statement**: The statement is **false**. The value of g does not remain the same at all places on the Earth's surface. 3. **Reasoning**: The value of g depends on several factors: - **Distance from the Center of the Earth**: The gravitational force decreases with an increase in distance from the center of the Earth. Since the Earth is not a perfect sphere but an oblate spheroid, the distance from the center varies slightly depending on where you are on the surface. ...
