  • C

The change in the value of $g$ at a height $h$ above the surface of the earth is the same as at a depth $d$ below the surface of the earth. When both $d$ and $h$ are much smaller than the radius of the earth,then which one of the following is correct?

If the density of the earth is doubled keeping its radius constant,then the acceleration due to gravity will be........ $m/s^2$. $(g = 9.8\,m/s^2)$

$A$ body is taken to a height of $n R$ from the surface of the earth. The ratio of the acceleration due to gravity on the surface to that at the altitude is

At what distance above and below the surface of the earth will a body have the same weight? (Take the radius of the earth as $R$.)

The ratio of the radii of a planet and the earth is $1: 2$, and the ratio of their mean densities is $4: 1$. If the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth is $9.8 \,ms^{-2}$, then the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet is: (in $\,ms^{-2}$)
