help with the number 2 question

Answer:
It is frequently stated that the value of the acceleration due to gravity at the pole is larger than at the equator because the poles are closer to the center of the earth due to the earth's oblateness. ... The measured value is larger because the earth's density is not uniform but increases toward the center.
Answer:
as explained that poles have more gravitational
force (9.83m/s^2) as the poles of earth is nearer to the center because it is flat at poles
but certainly at equator is having less gravitational force (9.78m/s^2) as it is Farr from centre of earth because it is bulgded at equator.
hence, poles have more gravitational force as co.pared to that of equator.
hope this helped you
any confusion the comment it.
