Two planets $A$ and $B$ of radii $R$ and $1.5 R$ have densities $\rho$ and $\rho / 2$ respectively. The ratio of acceleration due to gravity at the surface of $B$ to $A$ is:

At what height from the surface of the earth will the value of acceleration due to gravity fall to half of its value on the surface of the earth?

The mass of the moon is $(1/8)$ of the earth,but the gravitational pull is $(1/6)$ of the earth. This is due to the fact that:

If the mass of the planet is $10\%$ less than that of the earth and the radius is $20\%$ greater than that of the earth,the acceleration due to gravity on the planet will be

The gravitational force of the Earth on a rocket at a height $h$ from the surface of the Earth is $\frac{1}{3}$ of the gravitational force on the surface of the Earth. Find the relationship between $h$ and $R_e$ (the radius of the Earth).
