Question

KollegeApply · Accepted Answer

The value of gravitational acceleration (g) is 9.78 m/s2 at the equator. Explanation: g varies slightly with latitude because the Earth bulges at the equator and its rotation produces a centrifugal effect that reduces effective gravity there. As a result, g is highest (~9.832 m/s^2) at the poles and lowest (~9.78 m/s^2) at the equator.
