Starting from the centre of the earth, having radius \(R,\) the variation of \(g\) (acceleration due to gravity) is shown by:
1. | 2. | ||
3. | 4. |
Radii and densities of two planets are and respectively. The ratio of accelerations due to gravity on their surfaces is:
1.
2.
3.
4.
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 |
1 kg of sugar has maximum weight:

2. at the equator.
3. at a latitude of 45.
4. in India.
A body weighs \(200\) N on the surface of the earth. How much will it weigh halfway down the centre of the earth?
1. | \(100\) N | 2. | \(150\) N |
3. | \(200\) N | 4. | \(250\) N |
The value of acceleration due to gravity at a height of 800 km from the surface of the earth (radius of the earth is 6400 km and value of acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface is 981 cm/) is:
1. | \(775 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}^2 \) | 2. | \(872 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}^2 \) |
3. | \(981 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}^2 \) | 4. | \(Zero\) |
If the mass of the sun were ten times smaller and the universal gravitational constant were ten times larger in magnitude, which of the following statements would not be correct?
1. | Raindrops would drop faster. |
2. | Walking on the ground would become more difficult. |
3. | Time period of a simple pendulum on the earth would decrease. |
4. | Acceleration due to gravity \((g)\) on earth would not change. |
For moon, its mass is 1/81 of Earth's mass and its diameter is 1/3.7 of Earth's diameter. If acceleration due to gravity at Earth's surface is 9.8 m/, then at the moon, its value is:
1. | 2.86 m/s2 | 2. | 1.65 m/s2 |
3. | 8.65 m/s2 | 4. | 5.16 m/s2 |
