Choose the correct alternative:
Acceleration due to gravity increases/decreases with increasing depth. (assume the earth to be a sphere of uniform density).

उत्तर
Decreases
Acceleration due to gravity at depth d is given by the relation:
`g_d = (1-d/R_e)g`
It is clear from the given relation that acceleration due to gravity decreases with an increase in depth.

Different points in earth are at slightly different distances from the sun and hence experience different forces due to gravitation. For a rigid body, we know that if various forces act at various points in it, the resultant motion is as if a net force acts on the c.m. (centre of mass) causing translation and a net torque at the c.m. causing rotation around an axis through the c.m. For the earth-sun system (approximating the earth as a uniform density sphere).
