Which of the following does NOT affect the value of acceleration due to gravity?

ADepth
BMass of the body
CAltitude
DShape of the earth
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Mass of the body
1. The value of g varies with depth, altitude and the earth's shape. 2. From g = GM/R², g depends on the earth's mass and radius, not on the mass of the falling body. 3. Hence the mass of the body does not affect g. _Source: RRB Group D CEN-02/2018 PYQ, Q.41._
