If the density of a small planet is the ...

If the density of a small planet is the same as that of earth while the radius of the planet is `0.2` times that of the earth the gravitational on the surface of that planet is :

A

0.2 g

B

0.4 g

C

0.2 g

D

4 g

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`g=4/3 pi GRp` and `g=4/3 pi GR p`
`therefore (g')/(g)=(R ')/(R )=0.2`
and g' =0.2 g
