The escape velocity from the surface of the earth of radius R and density rho

The value of gravitational acceleration at a height equal to radius of earth, is

The gravitational force on a body inside the surface of the earth varies as ra, where r is the distance from the center of the earth and a is some constant. If the density of the earth is assumed uniform, then -

In older times, people used to think that the Earth was flat. Imagine that the Earth is indeed not a sphere of radius r, but an infinite plate of thickness H. What value of H is needed to allow the same gravitational acceleration to be experienced as on the surface of the actual Earth ? (Assume that the Earth's density is uniform and equal in the two models).

In older times, people used to think that the earth was flat. Imagine that the earth is indeed not a sphere of radius R , but an infinite plate of thickness H . What value of H is needed to allow the same gravitational acceleration to be experienced as on the surface of the actual Earth? (Assume that the Earth's density is uniform and equal in the tow models.)

The density of a newly discovered planet is twice that of earth. The acceleration due to gravity at surface of planet is half of the acceleration at surface of earth, if radius of the earth is R. The radius of planet would be
