If the radius of the earth shrinks by $1.5\%$ (mass remaining same),then the value of acceleration due to gravity changes by ....... $\%$.

The value of $g$ at a particular point is $9.8\,m/s^2$. Suppose the Earth suddenly shrinks uniformly to half its present size without losing any mass. The value of $g$ at the same point (assuming that the distance of the point from the centre of the Earth does not shrink) will now be ......... $m/s^2$.

An object is taken to a height above the surface of the Earth at a distance of $\frac{5}{4} R$ from the center of the Earth,where the radius of the Earth is $R = 6400 \, km$. The percentage decrease in the weight of the object will be $....\%$.

$A$ planet has the same density as that of the Earth,and the universal gravitational constant $G$ is twice that of the Earth. The ratio of the acceleration due to gravity on the planet to that on the Earth is:
