If the value of $g$ at the surface of the earth is $9.8 \, m/s^2$,then the value of $g$ at a place $480 \, km$ above the surface of the earth will be .......... $m/s^2$. (Radius of the earth is $6400 \, km$)

If the Earth is assumed to be a sphere of radius $R$,and $g_{30}$ is the value of acceleration due to gravity at a latitude of $30^\circ$ and $g$ is the value at the equator,the value of $g - g_{30}$ is:

Assuming the Earth to be a sphere of uniform mass density,the weight of a body at a depth $d = R/2$ from the surface of the Earth,if its weight on the surface of the Earth is $200 \, N$,will be $........... \, N$ (Given $R =$ Radius of Earth).

At what distance above and below the surface of the earth will a body have the same weight? (Take the radius of the earth as $R$.)

In the provided figure of the Earth,the value of acceleration due to gravity is the same at points $A$ and $C$,but it is smaller than its value at point $B$ (surface of the Earth). The value of $OA : AB$ is $x : y$. The value of $x$ is $\ldots \ldots \ldots$
