Consider a planet in some solar system which has a mass double the mass of earth and density equal to the average density of earth. If the weight of an object on earth is \({W}\), then weight of the same object on that planet will be

  1. A \(\sqrt{2}\, {W}\)
  2. B \(2\, {W}\)
  3. C \(W\)
  4. D \(2^{\frac{1}{3}}\, {W}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2^{\frac{1}{3}}\, {W}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since the density of planet is same as that of earth. \(\rho_{ p }=\rho_{ e }\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{ M _{ p }}{\frac{4}{3}}\pi R _{ p }^{3}=\frac{ M _{ e }}{\frac{4}{3}}\) \(\pi R _{ e }^{3}\)…
