If the mass of moon is `(1)/(90)` of earth's mass, its radius is `(1)/(3)` of earth's radius and if g is acceleration due to gravity on earth, then the acceleration due to gravity on moon is ......:

A

`g/3`

B

`(g)/(30)`

C

`(g)/(10)`

D

`(g)/(9)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`g_(m) = ( G xx M // 90)/(( R // 3) ^(3)) = (1)/(10) g `
