A spherical planet far out in space has a mass `M_(0)` and diameter `D_(0)`. A particle of mass m falling freely near the surface of this planet will experience an accelertion due to gravity which is equal to

A

`4GM_(P)m//D_(P)^(2)`

B

`4GM_(P)//D_(P)^(2)`

C

`GM_(P)m//D_(P)^(2)`

D

`GM_(P)//D_(P)^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`g=(GM_(p))/(R_(P)^(2))=(4GM_(P))/(D_(P)^(2))`
