Acceleration Due to Gravity of the Earth
PHXI08:GRAVITATION

359670 Read the Statement - A and Statement - B carefully to mark the correct options given below:
Statement A :
Acceleration due to earth's gravity decreases as you go 'up' or 'down' from earth's surface.
Statement B :
Acceleration due to earth's gravity is same at a height '\(h\)' and depth '\(d\)' from earth's surface, if \(h=d\).

1 Statement A is correct but Statement B is incorrect.
2 Both Statement A and Statement B are correct.
3 Statement A is incorrect but Statement B is correct.
4 Both Statement A and Statement B are incorrect.

359671 Assuming the earth to be a sphere of uniform mass density, a body weighed \(300\,N\) on the surface of earth. How much it would weigh at \(R / 4\) depth under surface of earth?

1 \(75\,N\)
2 \(225\,N\)
3 \(375\,N\)
4 \(300\,N\)
PHXI08:GRAVITATION

359672 The ratio of acceleration due to gravity at a depth ' \(h\) ' below the surface of earth and at a height ' \(h\) ' above the surface for \(h < < R\)

1 Constant only when \(h < < R\)
2 Increases linearly with \(h\)
3 Increases parabolically with \(h\)
4 Decreases

359673 The weight of a body at the surface of earth is \(18\,N\). The weight of the body at an altitude of \(3200\;km\) above the earth's surface is (given radius of earth \({R_e} = 6400\;km\))

1 \(19.6\;N\)
2 \(9.8\;N\)
3 \(4.9\;N\)
4 \(8\;N\)

359674 Altitude at which acceleration due to gravity decreases by \(0.1 \%\) approximately : (Radius of earth \( = 6400\;km\))

1 \(3.2\;km\)
