View SolutionThe ratio of the radii of a planet and the earth is $1: 2$, and the ratio of their mean densities is $4: 1$. If the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth is $9.8 \,ms^{-2}$, then the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet is: (in $\,ms^{-2}$)
The weight of a body on the earth is $400\,N$. Then weight of the body when taken to a depth half of the radius of the earth will be ............ $N$.
