If $M$ is the mass of the Earth and $R$ is its radius,the ratio of the gravitational acceleration $g$ to the gravitational constant $G$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{R^2}{M}$
  • B
    $\frac{M}{R^2}$
  • C
    $MR^2$
  • D
    $\frac{M}{R}$

If the radius of the Earth decreases without any change in its mass,will the value of $g$ on its surface increase or decrease?

If the change in the value of $g$ at a height $h$ above the surface of the earth is the same as at a depth $x$ below it,then (where $x$ and $h$ are much smaller than the radius of the earth $R_e$):

The rotation of the earth having radius $R$ about its axis speeds up to a value such that a man at latitude angle $60^{\circ}$ feels weightless. The duration of the day in such case will be:

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: The law of gravitation holds good for any pair of bodies in the universe.
Statement $II$: The weight of any person becomes zero when the person is at the centre of the earth.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.

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).
