$A$ mine is located at depth $\frac{R}{3}$ below the earth's surface. The acceleration due to gravity at that depth in the mine is ($R = \text{radius of earth}$,$g = \text{acceleration due to gravity at surface}$).

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 speed with which the earth would have to rotate about its axis so that a person on the equator would weigh $\frac{1}{6}$ th as much as at present is ($g=$ gravitational acceleration,$R=$ equatorial radius of the earth).

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth is $g$. What is the acceleration due to gravity at a height $h = R$ above the Earth's surface,where $R$ is the radius of the Earth?
