Expert Answer
The acceleration produced in freely falling body due to gravitational force is called acceleration due to gravity.
Acceleration due to gravity is represented by letter 'g'.
Value of g is 9.8 m/s2 .
Value of g is constant at given place on surface of the Earth but is not constant at all places on the surface of the Earth.
Since radius of the Earth is minimum at poles, acceleration due to gravity is maximum at poles.
While radius of the Earth is maxiumum at equator, thus value of g is minimum at the equator.
