The density of a newly discovered planet is twice that of Earth. The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the planet is equal to that at the surface of the Earth. If the radius of the Earth is $R$,the radius of the planet would be

  • A
    $2R$
  • B
    $4R$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{4}R$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}R$

Imagine Earth to be a solid sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$. If the value of acceleration due to gravity at a depth $d$ below Earth's surface is the same as its value at a height $h$ above its surface and equal to $\frac{g}{4}$ (where $g$ is the value of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth),the ratio of $\frac{h}{d}$ will be

$A$ simple pendulum has a time period $T_1$ when on the earth's surface and $T_2$ when taken to a height $R$ above the earth's surface,where $R$ is the radius of the earth. The value of $T_2/T_1$ is

Acceleration due to gravity on the moon is $\frac{1}{6}$ of the acceleration due to gravity on the earth. If the ratio of densities of earth $(\rho_e)$ and moon $(\rho_m)$ is $\frac{\rho_e}{\rho_m} = \frac{5}{3}$,then the radius of the moon $R_m$ in terms of $R_e$ will be:
