Give the value of acceleration due to gravity at height $12\, km$ from the surface of earth. (in $, m/s^2$)

$A$ 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 $\lambda = 10^{-3} \ kg \ m^{-1}$ 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 $g_e = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $N$)

The radius of Earth is about $6400 \,km$ and that of Mars is $3200 \,km$,and the mass of the Earth is about $10$ times the mass of Mars. An object weighs $200 \,N$ on the surface of Earth. Then,its weight on the surface of Mars will be (in $\,N$)
