The change in the value of $g$ at a height $h$ above the surface of the earth is the same as at a depth $d$ below the surface of the earth. When both $d$ and $h$ are much smaller than the radius of the earth,then which one of the following is correct?

The radius of the Earth is about $6400 \; km$ and that of Mars is $3200 \; km$. The mass of the Earth is about $10$ times the mass of Mars. An object weighs $200 \; N$ on the surface of the Earth. Its weight on the surface of Mars will be .......... $N$.

$A$ body weighs $72 \ N$ on the surface of the earth. What is the gravitational force on it at a height equal to half the radius of the earth (in $N$)?

The angular speed of rotation of the Earth about its axis,at which the weight of a man standing on the equator becomes half of his weight at the poles,is given by:
