The height at which the weight of a body becomes $\left(\frac{1}{9}\right)^{\text{th}}$ of its weight on the surface of the Earth is $(R = \text{radius of Earth})$: (in $R$)

Two satellites $P$ and $Q$ are moving in different circular orbits around the Earth (radius $R$). The heights of $P$ and $Q$ from the Earth's surface are $h_p$ and $h_Q$,respectively,where $h_p = R / 3$. The accelerations of $P$ and $Q$ due to Earth's gravity are $g_p$ and $g_Q$,respectively. If $g_p / g_Q = 36 / 25$,what is the value of $h_Q$?

What will be the formula for the mass of the Earth in terms of $g$,$R$,and $G$?

The radius of Earth is about $6400 \,km$ and that of Mars is $3200 \,km$,and the mass of the Earth is about $10$ times the mass of Mars. An object weighs $200 \,N$ on the surface of Earth. Then,its weight on the surface of Mars will be (in $\,N$)

The difference in the acceleration due to gravity at the pole and equator is ( $g=$ acceleration due to gravity,$R=$ radius of earth,$\theta=$ latitude,$\omega=$ angular velocity,$\cos 0^{\circ}=1, \cos 90^{\circ}=0$ ).
