The acceleration due to gravity at the equator

A Is less than that at the poles
B Is greater than that at the poles
C Is equal to that at the poles
D Does not depend on the Earth centripetalacceleration

Correct Answer: Is less than that at the poles

The effective acceleration of gravity at the poles is 980.665 cm/sec/sec while at the equator it is 3.39 cm/sec/sec less due to the centrifugal force.
