$Assertion$ : In a free fall,the weight of a body becomes effectively zero.
$Reason$ : The acceleration due to gravity acting on a body in free fall is zero.

$A$ body weighs $63 \; N$ on the surface of the earth. What is the gravitational force (in $N$) on it due to the earth at a height equal to half the radius of the earth?

If the radius of the earth is increased by a factor of $5$,by what factor must its density be changed to keep the value of $g$ the same?

At a certain depth $d$ below the surface of the earth,the value of acceleration due to gravity becomes four times its value at a height $3R$ above the earth's surface. Where $R$ is the radius of the earth (Take $R = 6400 \ km$). The depth $d$ is equal to $............ \ km$.

Two equal masses $m$ and $m$ are hung from a balance whose scale pans differ in vertical height by $h$. The error in weighing in terms of density of the earth $\rho$ is:
