    If the earth stops rotating, the apparent value of g on its surface will:

    A)  increase at some places and remain the same at other places

    B)  increase everywhere

    C)  decrease everywhere

    D)  remain the same every- where

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     At a given place, the value of acceleration due to gravity is constant but it varies from one place to another place on the earth surface. The value of 'g' is minimum at the equator and maximum at the poles which means, 'g' increases as we go from equator to pole. If earth stops rotating on its axis, there will be increase in the value of acceleration due to gravity at equator, but there will be no change in the value of ?g' at poles.
