Which of the following statements are true about the acceleration due to gravity of the Earth (where $r$ is the distance from the center of the Earth and $R$ is the radius of the Earth)?
$(a)$ $g$ decreases when moving away from the center, if $r > R$.
$(b)$ $g$ decreases when moving away from the center, if $r < R$.
$(c)$ $g$ is zero at the center of the Earth.
$(d)$ $g$ at the equator decreases, if the Earth stops rotating about its axis.

If $R$ is the radius of the earth and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface,the mean density of the earth is
