How will the acceleration due to gravity will change if the radius earth shrinks by 5% keeping mass unchanged ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of how the acceleration due to gravity changes when the radius of the Earth shrinks by 5% while keeping the mass unchanged, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between acceleration due to gravity and radius The acceleration due to gravity \( g \) at the surface of the Earth is given by the formula: \[ g = \frac{G \cdot M}{R^2} \] where: ...
