Assertion $(A)$: $A$ particle of mass $m$ dropped into a hole made along the diameter of the Earth from one end to the other possesses simple harmonic motion.
Reason $(R)$: Gravitational force between any two particles is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Write the equation of gravitational acceleration which is used for any height $h$ from the surface of the Earth.

If the radius of the earth contracts by $2\%$ and its mass remains the same,then the weight of a body at the earth's surface:

The magnitudes of the gravitational field at distances $r_1$ and $r_2$ from the center of a uniform sphere of radius $R$ and mass $M$ are $F_1$ and $F_2$ respectively. Then:
