What will be the acceleration due to gravity at a depth , where is acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth?
Options
- A\frac{g}{\left[1+\frac{d}{R}\right]^2}
- B
- C\frac{g}{\left[1-\frac{d}{R}\right]^2}
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Acceleration due to gravity at the surface of earth,
g=G R
\left[\becauseM=R^3 \cdot \rho\right]Where, density of earth.
Acceleration due to gravity at depth earth,
g^{\prime}= From Eqs. (i) and(ii), we get
g^{\prime}=g\left[1-\frac{d}{R}\right]
