If M is the mass of the earth and R its radius, then ratio of the gravitational acceleration and the gravitational constant is

A

`(R_(E)^(2))/(M_(E))`

B

`(M_(E))/(R_(E)^(2))`

C

`M_(E)R_(E)^(2)`

D

`(M_(E))/(R_(E))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
(b) As `g=(GM_(E))/(R_(E)^(2)) :. (g)/(G)=(M_(E))/(R_(E)^(2))`
