The gravitational pull of the moon is $(1/6)^{\text{th}}$ of the earth and the mass of the moon is $(1/8)^{\text{th}}$ of the earth. This implies that the:

The acceleration due to gravity at an altitude $h$ above the Earth's surface is half of its value on the surface of the Earth. If the radius of the Earth $R = 4000 \ mile$,the altitude $h$ is approximately ......... $mile$.

If the radius of the Earth is $R$,then the height $h$ at which the value of $g$ becomes one-fourth is:

If the acceleration due to gravity experienced by a point mass at a height $h$ above the surface of the Earth is the same as the acceleration due to gravity at a depth $d = \alpha h$ $(h \ll R_{e})$ from the Earth's surface,then the value of $\alpha$ will be: (use $R_{e} = 6400 \ km$)

If the Earth is assumed to be a sphere of radius $R$,and $g_{30}$ is the value of acceleration due to gravity at a latitude of $30^\circ$ and $g$ is the value at the equator,the value of $g - g_{30}$ is:
