Two equal masses $m$ and $m$ are hung from a balance whose scale pans differ in vertical height by $h$. The error in weighing in terms of density of the earth $\rho$ is:

  • A
    $2\pi G\rho mh$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{3}\pi G\rho mh$
  • C
    $\frac{8}{3}\pi G\rho mh$
  • D
    $\frac{4}{3}\pi G\rho mh$

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: If we move from poles to equator,the direction of acceleration due to gravity of earth always points towards the center of earth without any variation in its magnitude.
Reason $R$: At equator,the direction of acceleration due to the gravity is towards the center of earth. In the light of above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.

$A$ point mass of $10 \,kg$ is placed at the centre of the Earth. The weight of the point mass is

Assume that the Earth is a solid sphere of uniform density and a tunnel is dug along its diameter throughout the Earth. It is found that when a particle is released in this tunnel, it executes a simple harmonic motion. The mass of the particle is $100 \, g$. The time period of the motion of the particle will be (approximately) (take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$, radius of Earth $R = 6400 \, km$):

The time period of a simple pendulum increases by a factor of $\sqrt{2}$ at a height $h$ from the surface of the Earth. Then the value of $h$ is:
