$R$ and $r$ are the radii of the Earth and Moon respectively. $\rho_e$ and $\rho_m$ are the densities of the Earth and Moon respectively. The ratio of the accelerations due to gravity on the surfaces of the Earth and Moon is

Two planets have the same average density but their radii are $R_1$ and $R_2$. If acceleration due to gravity on these planets be $g_1$ and $g_2$ respectively,then

What is the gravitational force on a particle at the centre of the Earth?

Since the Earth is not a perfect sphere,what is the effect on the acceleration due to gravity $(g)$?

Difficult
View Solution

Earth is assumed to be a sphere of radius $R$. If $g_{\phi}$ is the value of effective acceleration due to gravity at latitude $30^{\circ}$ and $g$ is the value at the equator,then the value of $|g - g_{\phi}|$ is ($\omega$ is the angular velocity of rotation of the Earth,$\cos 30^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$).
