Gravitation Question 15

Question:The radii of two planets are respectively $ [R_{1}] $ and $ [R_{2}] $ and their densities are respectively $ [{\rho_{1}}] $ and $ [{\rho_{2}}] $ . The ratio of the accelerations due to gravity at their surfaces is [MP PET 1994]

Options:

A) $ [g_{1}:g_{2}=\frac{{\rho_{1}}}{R_{1}^{2}}:\frac{{\rho_{2}}}{R_{2}^{2}}] $

B) $ [g_{1}:g_{2}=R_{1}R_{2}:{\rho_{1}}{\rho_{2}}] $

C) $ [g_{1}:g_{2}=R_{1}{\rho_{2}}:R_{2}{\rho_{1}}] $

D) $ [g_{1}:g_{2}=R_{1}{\rho_{1}}:R_{2}{\rho_{2}}] $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ [g=\frac{4}{3}\pi \rho GR] $ $ [\therefore ] $

$ [\frac{g_{1}}{g_{2}}=\frac{R_{1}{\rho_{1}}}{R_{2}{\rho_{2}}}] $
