Weight of a Body at Higher Altitude and Value of g

Weight of a Body at Higher Altitude
Bodies weigh less at higher altitudes than at sea level. It is due to the reason that ‘g’ varies inversely as the square of the distance measured from the centre of the earth.

Value of ‘g’
Value of ‘g’ is not constant every where but it varies with the geographical location. It is due to the reason that ‘g’ varies inversely as the square of the distance measured from the centre of the earth.
