Assertion (A): At pole value of acceleration due to gravity (g) is greater than that of equator. Reason (R) : Earth rotates on its axis in addition to revolving round the sun.

Figure shows a method for measuring the acceleration due to gravity. The ball is projected upward by a gun. The ball pases the electronic gates 1 and 2 as it rises and again as it falls. Each gate is connected to a separate timer. The first passage of the ball through each gate stars the corresponding timer, and the second passage through the same gate stops the timer. the time intervals /_\t_(1) and /_\t_(2) are thus measured. The vertical distance between the two gates is d . If d=5m, /_\t_(1)=3s, /_\t_(2)=2s , then find the measured value of acceleration due to gravity (in m//s^(2) )
