Which graph correctly presents the variation of acceleration due to gravity with distance from the centre of the earth?

a
b
c
d

detailed solution

Correct option is C

gd = g(1-dg)or gd = gR-dRor gd = gyRor gd ∝ ySo, within the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity varies linearly, with the distance from the centre of the Earth. This explains the linear portion OA of the graphs.
