Acceleration Due to Gravity of the Earth

Acceleration due to gravity

Variation of g with altitude is:

Acceleration due to gravity_files (1)

Variation of g with depth is:

Acceleration due to gravity_files (1)

The change occurs when decrease in mass of of earth is accounted for (new mass = Acceleration due to gravity_files (2))

Acceleration due to gravity_files (3)

Gravity is stronger at poles and weaker at the equator.
