What will be the acceleration due to gravity at a depth dd, where gg is acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth?

Options

  1. A\frac{g}{\left[1+\frac{d}{R}\right]^2}
  2. Bg\lleft[1−2dR]g \l left[1-\frac{2 d}{R}]
  3. C\frac{g}{\left[1-\frac{d}{R}\right]^2}
  4. Dg\lleft[1−dR]g \l left[1-\frac{d}{R}]

Correct answer

D. g\lleft[1−dR]g \l left[1-\frac{d}{R}]

Step-by-step solution

Acceleration due to gravity at the surface of earth, g=GMR2=43πρ\frac{G M}{R^2}=\frac{4}{3} \pi \rhoG R \left[\becauseM=43π\frac{4}{3} \piR^3 \cdot \rho\right]Where, ρ=\rho= density of earth. Acceleration due to gravity at depth dfromthesurfaceofd from the surface ofearth, g^{\prime}=43π\rhoG(R−d)\frac{4}{3} \pi \rhoG(R-d) From Eqs. (i) and(ii), we get g^{\prime}=g\left[1-\frac{d}{R}\right]
