If `M` is the mass of the earth and `R` its radius, then 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
(b) As `g=(GM_(E))/(R_(E)^(2)) :. (g)/(G)=(M_(E))/(R_(E)^(2))`
