Circular Motion And Gravitation

Q: Why value of g is less on mountains?
Ans:

 According to above equation if the distance (h) increases from the radius (R) of the earth the value of 'g' will decrease. This is the reason for less value of 'g' on mountain.

Q: On mountains our weight will be more of less?
Ans: On mountain our weight will be less due to decrease in value of 'g' with the increase in distance from earth.
