Assume there are two identical simple pendulum clocks. Clock-$1$ is placed on the Earth and Clock-$2$ is placed on a space station located at a height $h$ above the Earth's surface. Clock-$1$ and Clock-$2$ operate with time periods of $4\,s$ and $6\,s$ respectively. Then the value of $h$ is $....\,km$ (consider the radius of the Earth $R_E = 6400\,km$ and $g$ on Earth $10\,m/s^2$).

$A$ certain planet completes one rotation about its axis in time $T$. The weight of an object placed at the equator on the planet's surface is a fraction $f$ ($f$ is close to unity) of its weight recorded at a latitude of $60^{\circ}$. The density of the planet (assumed to be a uniform perfect sphere) is given by

At a height of $h$ $km$ from the surface of the Earth,the gravitational potential and the value of $g$ are $-5.4 \times 10^7\, J kg^{-1}$ and $6.0\, m s^{-2}$ respectively. Take the radius of the Earth as $6400\, km$.

Neglecting air resistance,is the acceleration due to gravity the same for both heavy and light objects?
