Answer:
Magnitude of gravity will be maximum at the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
Explanation:
The acceleration due to gravity always decreases while gaining altitude or going below the surface
[tex]g_a=g\left(1-\frac{2h}{R}\right)[/tex]
[tex]g_d=g\left(1-\frac{d}{R}\right)[/tex]
The radius of Earth is 6378.1 km
Height of Chimborazo is 6,263 m
[tex]g_a=9.81\left(1-\frac{2\times 6.236}{6378.1}\right)\\\Rightarrow g_a=9.79081\ m/s^2[/tex]
[tex]g_d=9.81\left(1-\frac{10.984}{6378.1}\right)\\\Rightarrow g_d=9.79310\ m/s^2[/tex]
It can be seen that the acceleration due to gravity is almost same in both situations.
[tex]PE=mgh[/tex]
[tex]PE_c=mg6263[/tex]
[tex]PE_m=mg(-10984)[/tex]
Hence, the magnitude of gravity will be maximum at the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
At the equator surface h will become zero hence it will not hace gravitational potential energy
Answer:
The bottom of Mariana trench
Explanation:
change in PE = m g h
m and h will remain same for each case.
but g = G M / r^2
r is different for all three case.
which have smallest r, there will be greatest change.
Ans: The bottom of Mariana trench
