The value of the acceleration due to gravity is \(g _{1}\) at a height \(h =\frac{ R }{2}( R =\) radius of the earth) from the surface of the earth. It is again equal to \(g _{1}\) at a depth \(d\) below the surface of the earth. The ratio \(\left(\frac{ d }{ R }\right)\) equals
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\frac{5}{9}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(g_{1}=\frac{G M}{\left(R+\frac{R}{2}\right)^{2}} \ldots(1)\)
\(g_{2}=\frac{G M(R-d)}{R^{3}} \ldots(2)\)
\(g_{1}=g_{2}\)
\(\frac{G M}{\left(\frac{3 R}{2}\right)^{2}}=\frac{G M(R-d)}{R^{3}}\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{4}{9}=\frac{( R - d )}{ R }\)
\(4 R=9 R-9 d\)
\(5 R =9 d \Rightarrow \frac{ d }{ R }=\frac{5}{9}\)
