1.  No change at the poles
2.  No change at the equator
3.  Maximum change at the equator
4.  Equal change at all locations

The density of a newly discovered planet is twice that of the earth. The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the planet is equal to that at the surface of the earth. If the radius of the earth is \(R,\) the radius of the planet would be:

1. \(4R\) 2. \(\frac{1}{4}R\)
3. \(\frac{1}{2}R\) 4. \(2R\)

Imagine a new planet having the same density as that of the Earth but 3 times bigger than the Earth in size. If the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth is g and that on the surface of the new planet is g', then:

1. g' = 3g 2. g' = 9g
3. g' = g/9 4. g' = 27g
