Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Acceleration due to gravity is defined as the acceleration attained by an object due to a gravitational force. It is represented by ‘g’ and standard value of g is 9.8 m/s2 at sea level.  The centrifugal force of the spinning of earth is maximum at the equator and vanishes at the poles. Therefore, the acceleration due to gravity (g) is minimum at the equator and it is maximum at the poles.
