Effect of the surface of Earth
The equatorial radius is about 21 km longer than its polar radius. We know, g=Re2GMe. Hence, gpole>gequator
Here,
Me is the mass of earth.
Re is the radius of earth.
h is the height above the earth surface.
d is the depth below the earth surface.
G is the gravitational constant.
g is the acceleration due to gravity. (g=9.81 ms−2)
Variation of g due to Rotation of Earth
