  1. A \(g / 2\)
  2. B \(g / 4\)
  3. C \(g / 3\)
  4. D \(g / 9\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(g / 9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(g =\frac{ Gm }{ r ^{2}}\) \(g ^{\prime}=\frac{ Gm }{(3 r )^{2}}\) \(g ^{\prime}=\frac{ Gm }{9 r ^{2}}\) \(g ^{\prime}=\frac{ g }{9}\)
