Given below are two statements:
Statement-$I$: Acceleration due to gravity is different at different places on the surface of Earth.
Statement-$II$: Acceleration due to gravity increases as we go down below the Earth's surface.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true.
  • B
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are false.

What should be the angular speed with which the Earth must rotate on its axis so that a person on the equator would weigh $\frac{3}{5}$ th as much as their present weight?

How can we conclude that the Earth is not a perfect sphere based on the acceleration due to gravity?

If the Earth has no rotational motion,the weight of a person on the equator is $W$. Determine the speed with which the Earth would have to rotate about its axis so that the person at the equator will weigh $\frac{3}{4} W$. The radius of the Earth is $6400 \ km$ and $g = 10 \ m/s^2$.

Considering Earth to be a sphere of radius $R$ having uniform density $\rho$,the value of acceleration due to gravity $g$ in terms of $R$,$\rho$,and $G$ is:

The density of a new planet is twice that of earth. The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the planet is equal to that at the surface of earth. If $R$ is the radius of earth,then the radius of the planet would be
