Acceleration Due to Gravity

Two planets A and B have densities ' ρ1\rho_1 ', ' ρ2\rho_2 ' and have radii ' r1r_1 ', ' r2r_2 ', respectively. The ratio of acceleration due to gravity on AA to that of BB is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. g=43πGρrg = \frac{4}{3}\pi G\rho r, so g∝ρrg \propto \rho r.
  2. gA:gB=r1ρ1:r2ρ2g_A : g_B = r_1\rho_1 : r_2\rho_2
  3. So the answer is (b).
