Acceleration Due to Gravity of the Earth
PHXI08:GRAVITATION

359580 A spherical cloud of dust in space has a uniform density \(\rho_{o}\) and a radius \(R_{o}\). The gravitational acceleration of free fall at the surface of the cloud due to the mass of the cloud is \(g_{0}\). A process occurs (heat expansion) that causes the cloud to suddenly grow to a radius \(2 R_{o}\), while maintaining a uniform (but not constant) density. The gravitational acceleration of free fall at a point \(R_{o}\) away from the center of the cloud due to the mass of the cloud is now

1 \(g_{o} / 32\)
2 \(g_{o} / 16\)
3 \(g_{o} / 8\)
4 \(g_{o} / 4\)

359581 An astronaut on a strange planet finds that acceleration due to gravity is twice as that on the surface of earth. Which of the following could explain this?

1 Both the mass and radius of the planet are half as that of earth.

3 Both the mass and radius of the planet are twice as that of earth.
