The height ' h ' from the surface of the earth at which the value of ' g ' will be reduced by 64 % than the value at surface of the earth is ( R = radius of the earth)
Options
- A1 3 R
- B2 3 R
- C3 2 R
- D2 R
Correct answer
B. 2 3 R
Step-by-step solution
Since, g= G M R^2 g _ h = GM ( R + h )^2 When value of g is reduced by 64 % , g _ h =36 % of g array ll & g_h g = R^2 (R+h)^2 = 36 100 & R (R+h) = 6 10 & 4 R=6 h & h= 4 6 R= 2 3 R array
