Gravitation Question 59
Question: The acceleration of a body due to the attraction of the earth (radius R) at a distance 2 R from the surface of the earth is (g = acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the earth) [MP PET 2003]
Options:
A) $ [\frac{g}{9}] $
B) $ [\frac{g}{3}] $
C) $ [\frac{g}{4}] $
D) g
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
$ [g’=g{{\left( \frac{R}{R+h} \right)}^{2}}=g{{\left( \frac{R}{R+2R} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{g}{9}] $
