The height of the point vertically above the earth’s surface, at which acceleration due to gravity becomes $1\%$ of its value at the surface is (Radius of the earth $= R$)
$8 \,R$
$9 \,R$
$10 \,R$
$20 \,R$
The variation of acceleration due to gravity $g$ with distance $d$ from centre of the earth is best represented by ($R =$ Earth's radius)
$R$ is the radius of the earth and $\omega $ is its angular velocity and ${g_p}$ is the value of $g$ at the poles. The effective value of $g$ at the latitude $\lambda = 60^\circ $ will be equal to
The time period of a simple pendulum on a freely moving artificial satellite is
Explain the variations of acceleration due to gravity inside and outside the earth and draw the graph.
Assuming the earth to be a sphere of uniform mass density, the weight of a body at a depth $d=\frac{R}{2}$ from the surface of earth, if its werght on the surface of earth is $200\,N$, will be $...........\,N$ ( $Given R =$ Radrus of earth)
