The value of $g$ at a particular point is $9.8\,m/s^2$. Suppose the Earth suddenly shrinks uniformly to half its present size without losing any mass. The value of $g$ at the same point (assuming that the distance of the point from the centre of the Earth does not shrink) will now be ......... $m/s^2$.
