प्रश्न
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.
