Let `g_(h)` and `g_(d)` be the acceleartion due to gravity at height h above the earth s surface and at depth d below the earth 's surface respectively if `g_(h)=g_(d)` then the relation between h and d is

A

d=h

B

`d=(h)/(2)`

C

`d=(h)/(4)`

D

d=2h

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a

Acceleration due to gravity at a height h above the earth 's surface
`g_(h)-(1-2h)/(R )`
Acceration due to gravity at a depth d below the earth surface
`g_(d)=(1-(d))/(R )`
`therefore (1-(2h))/(R )=(1-(d))/(R )`
or `(1-(2h))/(r )=(1-(d))/(R )-(d)/(R ) rarr (2h)/(R )=(d)/(R)`
`rarr d=2h`
