If `R` is the radius of the earth and `g` the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface, the mean density of the earth is

A

`4pi G//3gR`

B

`3pi R//4gG`

C

`3g//4pi RG`

D

`piRg//12G`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

`g=(GM)/(R^(2))" and "M=(4)/(3)piR^(3)xxD`
`therefore" "g=((4//3)piR^(3)xxGD)/(R^(2))`
`therefore" "D=(3g)/(4piRG)`
