. Identical packets are dropped from two aeroplanes one above the equator


Identical packets are dropped from two aeroplanes one above the equator and other above the north pole both at height h now ge and gpare respectively the accelerate due to gravity. If t1 and t2 are respectively the time taken by packets to reach the surface of earth Then

1. t1 > t2 because gc < gp

2. t1 > t2 because gc > gp

3. t1 < t2 because gc < gp

4. t1 < t2 because ge > gp 

Best Answer

Ans: 1

Sol; Due to the rotation of earth on its own axis, the acceleration due to gravity is weaker at the equator than at the poles, therefore
