The value of gravitational acceleration $g'$ at a height $h$ above the earth's surface is $\frac{g}{4}$. Then,what is the value of $h$ in terms of the earth's radius $R$?

  • A
    $h=R$
  • B
    $h=\frac{R}{2}$
  • C
    $h=\frac{R}{3}$
  • D

If the radius of earth shrinks by $2 \%$ while its mass remains the same,the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface will approximately:

The depth $d$ below the surface of the earth where the value of acceleration due to gravity becomes $\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)$ times the value at the surface of the earth is ($R$ = radius of the earth).

The ratio of the radii of a planet and the earth is $1: 2$, and the ratio of their mean densities is $4: 1$. If the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth is $9.8 \,ms^{-2}$, then the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet is: (in $\,ms^{-2}$)

There is a planet which is $8$ times more massive and $27$ times denser than the Earth. If $g^{\prime}$ and $g$ are the accelerations due to gravity on the surfaces of the planet and the Earth respectively,then:

The dependence of acceleration due to gravity $g$ on the distance $r$ from the centre of the earth,assumed to be a sphere of radius $R$ of uniform density,is as shown in the figure below. The correct figure is:
