Two equal masses $m$ and $m$ are hung from a balance whose scale pans differ in vertical height by $h$. The error in weighing in terms of density of the earth $\rho$ is:

  • A
    $2\pi G\rho mh$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{3}\pi G\rho mh$
  • C
    $\frac{8}{3}\pi G\rho mh$
  • D
    $\frac{4}{3}\pi G\rho mh$

The density of a new 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 earth. If $R$ is the radius of earth,then the radius of the planet would be

The weight of a body on the surface of the earth is $100\,N$. The gravitational force on it when taken at a height,from the surface of earth,equal to one-fourth the radius of the earth is $..........\,N$.

Different planets have masses $M_1, M_2, M_3$ and radii $R_1, R_2, R_3$ respectively. The acceleration due to gravity on their surfaces are $g_1, g_2, g_3$ respectively. Based on the given graph,arrange their masses in descending order.

Assuming the Earth to be a sphere of uniform density, the acceleration due to gravity:

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: Acceleration due to earth's gravity decreases as you go 'up' or 'down' from earth's surface.
Statement $II$: Acceleration due to earth's gravity is same at a height '$h$' and depth '$d$' from earth's surface, if $h = d$.
In the light of above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
