The acceleration of a body due to the attraction of the earth (radius $R$) at a distance $2R$ from the surface of the earth is ($g =$ acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the earth).

Neglecting air resistance,is the acceleration due to gravity the same for both heavy and light objects?

Which of the following statements are true about the acceleration due to gravity of the Earth (where $r$ is the distance from the center of the Earth and $R$ is the radius of the Earth)?
$(a)$ $g$ decreases when moving away from the center, if $r > R$.
$(b)$ $g$ decreases when moving away from the center, if $r < R$.
$(c)$ $g$ is zero at the center of the Earth.
$(d)$ $g$ at the equator decreases, if the Earth stops rotating about its axis.

If the density of the earth is doubled keeping its radius constant,then the acceleration due to gravity will be........ $m/s^2$. $(g = 9.8\,m/s^2)$

The difference in the acceleration due to gravity at the pole and equator is ( $g=$ acceleration due to gravity,$R=$ radius of earth,$\theta=$ latitude,$\omega=$ angular velocity,$\cos 0^{\circ}=1, \cos 90^{\circ}=0$ ).
