The value of g at a particular point is 10 ms-2. Suppose the earth shrinks uniformly to half of its present size without losing any mass. The value of g at the same point (assuming that the distance of the point from the centre of the earth does not change) will now be
detailed solution
Correct option is B
F=(GMm)/R2=mgAs the mass remains the same and radius, i.e., distance from the centre is also the same, therefore g will remain the same, i.e., 10 m s-2.Talk to our academic expert!
