Correct Answer: is less than that at poles
Solution : The correct answer is less than that at poles.
The acceleration due to gravity is not uniform all around the earth. Earth is an oblate spheroid because of which distance between the poles and centre of the earth is less than the distance between the equator and the centre of earth. Because of this acceleration due to gravity is observed more at poles. Along with this gravity also depends upon the distribution of mass on earth.
