Consider a planet in some solar system which has a mass double the mass of Earth and density equal to the average density of Earth. If the weight of an object on Earth is $W$,then the weight of the same object on that planet will be

  • A
    $\sqrt{2} W$
  • B
    $2 W$
  • C
    $W$
  • D
    $2^{1/3} W$

The acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface at the poles is $g$ and the angular velocity of the earth about the axis passing through the poles is $\omega$. An object is weighed at the equator and at a height $h$ above the poles by using a spring balance. If the weights are found to be the same,then $h$ is: ($h << R$,where $R$ is the radius of the earth)

Two planets have radii $R_1$ and $R_2$ and densities $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$ respectively. Find the ratio of the acceleration due to gravity on these planets.

If a body takes time $t$ to reach the ground when dropped from a height $h$ on Earth,how much time will it take to reach the ground when dropped from the same height $h$ on the Moon?

The weight of an object on the surface of the Earth is $72 \, N$. What will be the weight of the object at a height of $R/2$ from the surface of the Earth? ($R$ = radius of the Earth)
