Acceleration due to gravity at a height (h ) is equal to that at a depth (d ) below the surface of the earth, if
Options
- A(d=h )
- B(2 d=h )
- C(d=2 h )
- D(3 d=h )
Correct answer
C. (d=2 h )
Step-by-step solution
According to question, Acceleration due to gravity at a height ((h)= ) Acceleration due to gravity below depth ((d) ) ( array llll & g (1- 2 h R_e ) =g (1- d R_e ) & 1- 2 h R_e =1- d R_e 2 h R_e = d R_e & 2 h =d array )
