If different planets have the same densi...

If different planets have the same density but diferent radii then the acceleration due to gravity (g) on the surface of the planet will depend on its radius (R) as

A

`gprop(1)/(r^(2))`

B

`gprop(1)/(R )`

C

`gpropR`

D

`gpropR^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`g=(GM)/(R^(2))=(G)/(R^(2))xx(4)/(3)piR^(3)rho`
`=(Gxx4pirhoxxR)/(3)`
or `gpropR`
