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

`0.2g`

B

`0.4g`

C

`2g`

D

`4g`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`4/3piGR rho` and `g'=4/3pirhoGR'rho`
`:. (g')/g=(R')/R=0.2 implies g'=0.2g`
