Acceleration Due to Gravity

The value of acceleration due to gravity at a depth 'dd' from the surface of earth and at an altitude 'hh' from the surface of earth are in the ratio

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Depth: gd=g(1−dR)g_d = g\left(1 - \frac{d}{R}\right); small altitude: gh=g(1−2hR)g_h = g\left(1 - \frac{2h}{R}\right)
  2. gdgh=R−dR−2h\frac{g_d}{g_h} = \frac{R-d}{R-2h}
  3. So the answer is (c).
