The earth is an approximately sphere. If the
interior contained matter which is not of the
same density everywhere, then on the surface
of the earth, the acceleration due to gravity:
interior contained matter which is not of the
same density everywhere, then on the surface
of the earth, the acceleration due to gravity:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Cannot be zero at any point
Option D (Cannot be zero at any point) is correct because if the earth's density is not uniform, the acceleration due to gravity will vary and will not be zero at any point on the surface.
