The weight of an object on the surface of the Earth is 40 N. Its weight at a height equal to the radius of the Earth is

A

10 cm

B

5 cm

C

20 cm

D

4.8 cm

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`R_(h)=R_(H-h)`, Since, range form both the holes is same h=2.4 cm and H-h=7.6 cm
Adding these two, we get H=10 cm
