Imagine a new planet having the same density as that of earth but it is 3 times bigger than the earth in size. If the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth is g and that on the surface of the new planet is g ^ then:
Options
- Ag^ = g 9
- Bg^ =27 g
- Cg^ =9 g
- Dg^ =3 g
Correct answer
D. g^ =3 g
Step-by-step solution
aligned g= G M R^2 & = G 4 3 R^3 R^2 & = 4 3 G R g^ & = 4 3 G (3 R) & =3 g aligned
