The ratio of the time periods of a simple pendulum at heights $2 R_E$ and $3 R_E$ from the surface of the earth is ($R_E$ is the radius of the earth).

The gravitational potential at a point above the surface of the Earth is $-5.12 \times 10^7 \,J/kg$ and the acceleration due to gravity at that point is $6.4 \,m/s^2$. Assume that the mean radius of the Earth is $6400 \,km$. The height of this point above the Earth's surface is: (in $\,km$)

The variation of acceleration due to gravity $g$ with distance $d$ from the centre of the earth is best represented by ($R =$ Earth's radius)

If the radius of the earth were to shrink by $1\%$ with its mass remaining the same,the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface would
