$A$ narrow but tall cabin is falling freely near the earth's surface. Inside the cabin,two small stones $A$ and $B$ are released from rest (relative to the cabin). Initially $A$ is much above the centre of mass and $B$ is much below the centre of mass of the cabin. $A$ close observation of the motion of $A$ and $B$ will reveal that

Two planets have the same density but different radii. The acceleration due to gravity would be ........

Consider Earth to be a sphere of radius $R_e$ rotating about its own axis with angular speed $\omega$. If $g_{E}$ and $g_{P}$ are the accelerations due to gravity at the equator and the poles respectively,then $(g_{P}-g_{E})$ is given by $\left[\cos (0^{\circ})=\sin (\frac{\pi}{2})=1, \sin (0^{\circ})=\cos (\frac{\pi}{2})=0\right]$

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: If we move from poles to equator,the direction of acceleration due to gravity of earth always points towards the center of earth without any variation in its magnitude.
Reason $R$: At equator,the direction of acceleration due to the gravity is towards the center of earth. In the light of above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.
