Draw g' versus `d and g` versus `h` graph. Here, `d` is depth below the surface of earth and `h` is the height from the surface of earth.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The variation of `g` with height `h` is related by `gpropa/(r^(2)` where `r=R+h`, i.e. part `AB` of the graph in the figure.

b. The varitation of `g` with depth is related by `g'=g(1-d/R)` i.e., `gprop(R-d)`. Thus the variation of `g` and `d` is a straigt line i.e., part `AC` of the graph in the figure.
