Which of the following statements are true about acceleration due to gravity

A

g decreases in moving away from the centre if `rgtR`

B

g decreases in moving away from the centre if `rltR`

C

g is zero at the centre of earth.

D

g decreases if earth stops rotating on its axis.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, C


Variation of g with distance
variation fo g with `omega:g'=g-omega^(2)Rcos^(2)lamda`
if `omega=0` then g will not change at poles where `coslamda=0`.
