Two planets have radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ and their densities are $p_1$ and $p_2$ respectively. The ratio of the acceleration due to gravity on their surfaces will be:

  • A
    $r_1 p_1 : r_2 p_2$
  • B
    $r_1 p_1^2 : r_2 p_2^2$
  • C
    $r_1^2 p_1 : r_2^2 p_2$
  • D
    $r_1 p_2 : r_2 p_1$

The centre of gravity of a body on the earth coincides with its centre of mass for a small object,whereas for an extended object,it may not. What is the qualitative meaning of 'small' and 'extended' in this regard? For which of the following does the centre of gravity coincide with the centre of mass: a building,a pond,a lake,a mountain?

Given below are two statements:
Statement-$I$: Acceleration due to gravity is different at different places on the surface of Earth.
Statement-$II$: Acceleration due to gravity increases as we go down below the Earth's surface.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The percentage decrease in the weight of a rocket,when taken to a height of $32 \ km$ above the surface of the Earth,will be $.....\%$
(Radius of Earth $= 6400 \ km$)

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).

The depth at which acceleration due to gravity becomes $\frac{g}{n}$ is [ $R$ = radius of earth,$g$ = acceleration due to gravity,$n=$ integer].
