Convergence and Divergence in Gravity and Magnetic Interpretation

Abstract

DR. NEGI'S criticism seems to have been based on a misreading of the purpose of our communication1. What we actually meant to convey was that the average radial gravity (r), expressed in Taylor's expansion or in any of its allied forms, cannot always be accepted in view of its oscillatory character. Thus such representation should be made with some caution and only below a certain range of radius, depending on the depth of the body and the location of the point of measurement.
