If density of earth increased 4 times and its radius become half of what it is, our weight will ?

A

be four times its present value

B

be doubled

C

remain same

D

be halved

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`g prop rho R`. If density of earth is increased four times and its radius become half, then the value of acceleration due to gravity becomes due to which our weight get double.
