The weights of an object are measured in a coal mine of depth $h_1$,then at sea level of height $h_2=0$,and lastly at the top of a mountain of height $h_3$ as $W_1, W_2$,and $W_3$ respectively. Which one of the following relations is correct? [$h_1 \ll R, h_3 \ll R, R=$ radius of the earth]

The height at which the weight of a body becomes $\left(\frac{1}{9}\right)^{\text{th}}$ of its weight on the surface of the Earth is $(R = \text{radius of Earth})$: (in $R$)

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 $(\cos 0^{\circ}=1)$

Weight of a body of mass $m$ decreases by $1\%$ when it is raised to height $h$ above the Earth's surface. If the body is taken to a depth $h$ in a mine,then its weight will
