A planet has twice the mass of earth and of identical size. What will be the height above the surface of the planet where its acceleration due to gravity reduces by 36% of its value on its surface ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
1600 km
Use `g = (GM)/(R^(2))and g_(h) = g [R/(R+h)]^(2)`
