If `M` is the mass of the earth and `R` its radius, the ratio of the gravitational acceleration and the gravitational constant is

A

`(R^(2))/(M)`

B

`(M)/(R^(2))`

C

`MR^(2)`

D

`(M)/(R)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Gravitational acceleration is given by `g = (GM)/(R^(2))`
where, `G =` gravitational constant
`(g)/(G) = (M)/(R^(2))`
