$A$ body is taken to a height of $n R$ from the surface of the earth. The ratio of the acceleration due to gravity on the surface to that at the altitude is

As we move from the poles of the Earth towards the equator,what happens to the value of the acceleration due to gravity $(g)$?

The change in the value of $g$ at a height $h$ above the surface of the earth is the same as at a depth $d$ below the surface of the earth. When both $d$ and $h$ are much smaller than the radius of the earth,then which one of the following is correct?

Consider Earth to be a sphere of radius $R_e$ rotating about its own axis with angular speed $\omega$. If $g_{E}$ and $g_{P}$ are the accelerations due to gravity at the equator and the poles respectively,then $(g_{P}-g_{E})$ is given by $\left[\cos (0^{\circ})=\sin (\frac{\pi}{2})=1, \sin (0^{\circ})=\cos (\frac{\pi}{2})=0\right]$

If the radius of the earth is $6347 \, km$,then what will be the difference between the acceleration of free fall and the acceleration due to gravity near the earth's surface?
