The mass of a spherical planet is 4 times the mass of the earth, but its radius (R) is same as that of the earth. How much work is done in lifting a body of mass 5 ~kg through a distance of 2 ~m on the planet? ( g =10 ~ms ⁻² )
Options
- A400 ~J
- B200 ~J
- C800 ~J
- D300 ~J
Correct answer
A. 400 ~J
Step-by-step solution
aligned & g = GM R ^2 , ~g ^ = GM ^ R ^2 = G 4 M R ^2 =4 ~g & ~W = mg h =4 mgh =4 5 10 2=400 ~J aligned
