What is weightlessness ? Explain with example.

The acceleration of a body due to the attraction of the earth (radius $R$) at a distance $2 \,R$ from the surface of the earth is ($g =$ acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the earth)

Let $g$ be the acceleration due to gravity at earth's surface and $K$ be the rotational kinetic energy of the earth. Suppose the earth's radius decreases by $2\%$ keeping all other quantities same, then

If the radius of the earth be increased by a factor of $5,$ by what factor its density be changed to keep the value of $g$ the same ?
