If the radius of the earth shrinks by 1....

If the radius of the earth shrinks by `1.5%` (mass remaining same), then the value of acceleration due to gravity changes by

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to understand how the acceleration due to gravity (g) changes when the radius of the Earth shrinks while keeping its mass constant. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the formula for acceleration due to gravity:** The formula for the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the Earth is given by: \[ g = \frac{GM}{R^2} ...
