Acceleration due to gravity on the moon is $\frac{1}{6}$ of the acceleration due to gravity on the earth. If the ratio of densities of earth $(\rho_e)$ and moon $(\rho_m)$ is $\frac{\rho_e}{\rho_m} = \frac{5}{3}$,then the radius of the moon $R_m$ in terms of $R_e$ will be:

Consider a particle of mass $m$ suspended by a string at the equator. Let $R$ and $M$ denote the radius and mass of the Earth. If $\omega$ is the angular velocity of rotation of the Earth about its own axis,then the tension on the string will be $(\cos 0^{\circ}=1)$

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