      (a) Distinguish between G and g. (b) What is the effect of shape of earth on value of g?

    Answer:

      (a) The differences between gravitational constant(G) and acceleration due to gravity (g) are
    S. No. Gravitational constant (G) Acceleration due to gravity (g)
    (i) It is defined as the force of attraction between two objects of unit mass each separated by unit distance. It is defined as the acceleration of an object freely falling under the action of force of gravity.
    (ii) It is an universal constant and its value is It is a constant at a given place its value changes from place to place. Mean value of g on surface of earth is
    (b) The earth is not a perfect sphere. The radius of earth increases from poles to the equator. Hence, as per relation value of g i s greater at the poles and lesser at the equator.                                                   (1)
