The radius of the earth is $6400 \, km$ and $g = 10 \, m/s^2$. In order that a body of $5 \, kg$ weighs zero at the equator,the angular speed of the earth is

Suppose that the angular velocity of rotation of the earth is increased. Then,as a consequence:

Find the gravitational field at a distance of $2000\, km$ from the center of the Earth. (in $m/s^2$)
(Given: $R_{\text{earth}} = 6400\, km$,$r = 2000\, km$,$M_{\text{earth}} = 6 \times 10^{24}\, kg$)

The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is $\frac{1}{6}$ times the acceleration due to gravity on the earth. If the ratio of the density of the earth $\rho_e$ to the density of the moon $\rho_m$ is $\frac{5}{3}$,then the radius of the moon $R_m$ in terms of the radius of the earth $R_e$ is:
