The mass of a planet and its diameter are three times those of the Earth. Then the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet is ....... $m/s^2$.

Assume there are two identical simple pendulum clocks. Clock-$1$ is placed on the Earth and Clock-$2$ is placed on a space station located at a height $h$ above the Earth's surface. Clock-$1$ and Clock-$2$ operate with time periods of $4\,s$ and $6\,s$ respectively. Then the value of $h$ is $....\,km$ (consider the radius of the Earth $R_E = 6400\,km$ and $g$ on Earth $10\,m/s^2$).

The highest temperature, density, and pressure on Earth are found:

Two planets $A$ and $B$ of radii $R$ and $1.5 R$ have densities $\rho$ and $\rho / 2$ respectively. The ratio of acceleration due to gravity at the surface of $B$ to $A$ is:

Which of the following statements are true about acceleration due to gravity?
$(a)$ '$g$' decreases in moving away from the centre if $r > R$
