If the radius of earth shrinks by \(2 \%\) while its mass remains same. The acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface will approximately.
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) increase by \(4 \%\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(g=\frac{G M}{R^{2}}\)
\(M =\) constant \(g<\frac{1}{ R ^{2}}\)
\(100 \frac{\Delta g}{g}=-2 \frac{\Delta R}{R} 100\)
\(\%\) change \(=-2(-2)\)
\(\%\) change in \(g =4 \%\)
increase by \(4 \%\)
