The average density of the earth is [g is acceleration due to gravity] (a) inversely proportional to g ². (b) directly proportional to g. (c) inversely proportional to g. (d) directly proportional to g².

Answer: (b). g = 4/3π Gρ R ⇒ ρ = (3g)/(4π GR). For fixed R and G, ρ ∝ g. So the answer is (b) directly proportional to g.
