Keeping mass unchanged if radius of the ...

Keeping mass unchanged if radius of the earth increases by a factor 4, then by which factor density must have to be changed so that the value of g remains same ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine how the density of the Earth must change if the radius increases by a factor of 4 while keeping the mass unchanged, so that the acceleration due to gravity (g) remains constant. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Formula for g**: The acceleration due to gravity (g) at the surface of the Earth is given by the formula: \[ g = \frac{G \cdot M}{R^2} ...
