If the radius of earth shrinks by 2 % while its mass remains same....
If the radius of earth shrinks by while its mass remains same. The acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface will approximately
Options
- Adecrease by
- Bdecrease by
- Cincrease by
- Dincrease by
Correct answer
D. increase by
Step-by-step solution
The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth is given by, .
The radius shrunk by . Therefore, .
As the mass is constant and the change in the radius of the earth is relatively small, we can write
Hence, the acceleration due to gravity increases by .
