If the acceleration due to gravity experienced by a point mass at a height \(h\) above the surface of earth is same as that of the acceleration due to gravity at a depth a depth \(\alpha\) h \(\left(h \ll R_{e}\right)\) from the earth surface. The value of \(\alpha\) will be\(....\)(use \(R _{ e }=6400\,km\) )
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(g\left(1-\frac{2 h}{R}\right)=g\left(1-\frac{d}{R}\right)\)
\(\frac{2 h}{R}=\frac{d}{R}\)
\(\alpha h=d\)
\(\alpha=2\)
