If `g` is same at a height `h` and at a depth `d`, then

A

`R=2d`

B

`d=2h`

C

`h=d`

D

none

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`g'=g[1-(2h)/R]=g[1-d/R]`
`(2h)/R=d/Rimpliesd=2h`

If accelerations due to gravity at a height h and at a depth d below the surface of the earth are equal, how are h and d related ?

If g_e, g_h and g_d be the acceleration due to gravity at earth’s surface, a height h and at depth d respectively . Then:

Acceleration due to gravity as same at height h from surface and at depth h from surface, then find value of h

If the change in the value of g at a height h above the surface of earth is the same as at a depth d below it (both h and d are much smaller than the radius of the earth), then

At what height, the weight of the body is same as that at same depth from the earth's surface (take, earth's radius = R)

Change in acceleration due to gravity is same upto a height h from the surface of the earth and below the surface at a depth x, then relation between x and h is (h and x lt lt lt R )
