If the change in the value of $g$ at a height $h$ above the surface of the earth is the same as at a depth $x$ below it,then (both $x$ and $h$ being much smaller than the radius of the earth)

The ratio of the height $h$ above the surface of the Earth to the depth $d$ below the surface of the Earth,for which the gravitational accelerations are the same (assuming small heights),is:

The time period of a simple pendulum on the surface of the earth is $T$. The height above the surface of the earth at which the time period of the pendulum becomes $2T$ is (Radius of the earth $= 6400 \text{ km}$) (in $\text{ km}$)

If the angular speed of the earth is doubled,the value of acceleration due to gravity $(g)$ at the north pole:

The radius of the Earth is $6400 \,km$ and the acceleration due to gravity is $g=10 \,ms^{-2}$. For the weight of a body of mass $5 \,kg$ to be zero at the equator,the rotational angular velocity of the Earth must be (in $rad/s$):
