Gravitation Question 329

Question: The value of ‘g’ at a particular point is$ [9.8 m/s^{2}] $ . Suppose the earth suddenly shrinks uniformly to half its present size without losing any mass. The value of ‘g? at the same point (assuming that the distance of the point from the centre of the earth does not shrink) will now be

Options:

A) $ [4.9,,m/sec^{2}] $

B) $ [3.1,,m/sec^{2}] $

C) $ [9.8,,m/sec^{2}] $

D) $ [19.6,,m/sec^{2}] $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • $ [g=\frac{GM}{r^{2}}] $

    Since M and r are constant, so $ [g=9.8m/s^{2}] $
