A) it increases with height above the earth surface
B) it is affected by the earths rotation
C) it is more at the equator than at the poles
D) in increases with depth from the earths surface
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Out of the given options the acceleration due to gravity is affected by earths rotation. As due to rotation of earth acceleration due to gravity at latitude K is given by \[{{g}_{\lambda }}=g-R{{\omega }^{2}}{{\cos }^{2}}\lambda \](where\[\omega \] is the angular velocity of earth)
