If the density of a small planet is the same as that of earth, while the radius of the planet is $0.2$ times that of the earth, the gravitational acceleration on the surface of that planet is (in $\,g$)

The diameters of two planets are in the ratio $4:1$. Their mean densities have the ratio $1:2$. The ratio of gravitational acceleration on the surface of the planets will be:

The radius of the Earth is approximately $6000 \, km$. The weight of a body at a height of $6000 \, km$ from the Earth's surface becomes:

The angular velocity of the Earth at present is $\omega$. With what angular velocity should it rotate so that the weight of a body at the equator appears to be zero (in $\omega$)? (Express the answer as a multiple of $\omega$)

The value of $g$ at the surface of the earth is $9.8 \, m/s^2$. Then the value of $g$ at a place $480 \, km$ above the surface of the earth will be nearly .......... $m/s^2$ (radius of the earth is $6400 \, km$).
