The value of g at a particular point is 10 m s^(-2) . Suppose the earth shrinks uniformly to half of its present size without losing any mass. The value of g at the same point (assuming that the distance of the point from the centre of the earth does not change) will now be

If the earth suddenly shrinks (without changing mass) to half of its present radius, the acceleration due to gravity will be

If the earth suddenly contracted to half of its present radius without losing any mass, how many hours would there be in a day? (hint: Apply the principle of conservation of angular momentum).

If the earth suddenly shrinks (without changing mass) to half of its present radius, then acceleration due to gravity will be

Assertion : If radius of earth suddenly shrinks to half its present without changing its mass value, then the period of an earth's satellite will not change Reason : Time period of a satellite does not upon the mass of earth.

If g denotes the value of acceleration due to gravity at a point distance r from the centre of earth of radius R . If r lt R , then
