$A$ planet of radius $R = \frac{1}{10} \times$ (radius of Earth) has the same mass density as Earth. Scientists dig a well of depth $\frac{R}{5}$ on it and lower a wire of the same length and of linear mass density $\lambda = 10^{-3} \ kg \ m^{-1}$ into it. If the wire is not touching anywhere,the force applied at the top of the wire by a person holding it in place is (take the radius of Earth $= 6 \times 10^6 \ m$ and the acceleration due to gravity on Earth $g_e = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $N$)

The acceleration due to gravity at a height $1\, km$ above the earth is the same as at a depth $d$ below the surface of earth. Then $d = $ ......... $km$

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.

The height at which the acceleration due to gravity becomes $\frac{g}{9}$ (where $g$ = the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth) in terms of $R$,the radius of the earth,is

Assuming the earth to be a sphere of uniform density,the acceleration due to gravity inside the earth at a distance of $r$ from the centre is proportional to
