Two planets A and B of radii RR and 1.5R1 . 5R have densities ρρ and ρ2\dfrac{ρ}{2} respectively. The ratio of acceleration due to gravity at the surface of B to A is:

Options

  1. A2:32: 3
  2. B2:12: 1
  3. C3:43: 4
  4. D4:34: 3

Correct answer

C. 3:43: 4

Step-by-step solution

The acceleration due to gravity is

g=GMR2=4\piGRρ3⇒g∝ρ⋅Rg = \dfrac{GM}{{R}^{2}} = \dfrac{4\piGRρ}{3} ⇒ g ∝ ρ \cdot R

Thus, the ratio is

⇒gBgA=1.5Rρ2ρR=12×1.5=0.75⇒gBgA=34⇒ \dfrac{{g}_{B}}{{g}_{A}} = \dfrac{1 . 5Rρ}{2ρR} = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 1 . 5 = 0 . 75 ⇒ \dfrac{{g}_{B}}{{g}_{A}} = \dfrac{3}{4}
