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:

  • A
    $2: 3$
  • B
    $2: 1$
  • C
    $3: 4$
  • D
    $4: 3$

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 depth from the surface of the earth of radius $R$,at which the acceleration due to gravity will be $60 \%$ of its value on the earth's surface,is:

If two planets have their radii in the ratio $x: y$ and densities in the ratio $m: n$,then the ratio of the acceleration due to gravity on them is
