At what depth from the surface of the earth, the acceleration due to gravity will be `(1)/(4)` th the value of g on the surface of the eath ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As `g. = g [ 1- d/(R_(e))] `
According to question ,
`g . = g/4`
` :. g/4 = g [ 1 - d/(R_(e))] `
` :. 1/4 = 1 d/(R_(e))`
` :. d/(R_(e)) = 1 - 1/4`
` :. D = 0.75 R `
