A planet of radius $R =\frac{1}{10} \times$ (radius of Earth) has the same mass density as Earth. Scientists dig a well of depth $\frac{R}{5}$ on it and lower a wire of the same length and of linear mass density $10^{-3} \ kgm ^{-1}$ into it. If the wire is not touching anywhere, the force applied at the top of the wire by a person holding it in place is (take the radius of Earth $=6 \times 10^6 \ m$ and the acceleration due to gravity on Earth is $10 \ ms ^{-2}$ )
$96 \ N$
$108 \ N$
$120 \ N$
$150 \ N$
Let $\omega$ be the angular velocity of the earth’s rotation about its axis. Assume that the acceleration due to gravity on the earth’s surface has the same value at the equator and the poles. An object weighed at the equator gives the same reading as a reading taken at a depth d below earth’s surface at a pole $(d < < R)$ The value of $d$ is
If the density of the earth is doubled keeping its radius constant then acceleration due to gravity will be........ $m/{s^2}$ . $(g = 9.8\,m/{s^2})$
The radius of the earth is $6400\, km$ and $g = 10\,m/{\sec ^2}$. In order that a body of $5 \,kg$ weighs zero at the equator, the angular speed of the earth is
If a planet consists of a satellite whose mass and radius were both half that of the earth, the acceleration due to gravity at its surface would be ......... $m/{\sec ^2}$ ($ g$ on earth $= 9.8\, m/sec^2$ )
$Assertion$ : Space rocket are usually launched in the equatorial line from west to east
$Reason$ : The acceleration due to gravity is minimum at the equator.
