Which of the following statements is correct regarding the acceleration due to gravity ($g$)?

Question

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

The acceleration due to gravity $g_h = g(1 - \frac{2h}{R})$ for altitude $h$ and $g_d = g(1 - \frac{d}{R})$ for depth $d$. Both values are less than the value of $g$ at the surface. Thus, $g$ decreases with both altitude and depth.
