A body weight , is projected vertically upwards from earth's surface to reach a height above the earth which is equal to nine times the radius of earth. The weight of the body at that height will be:
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Final distance from the centre of earth wil be .
Now acceleration due to gravity at any height(distance from centre r) is given by,
.
Therefore,
Now, value of at surface will be, .
Hence,
.
Then,
