If the change in the value of g at a height h above the surface of the Earth is same as at depth x below it. When both x and h are much smaller than the radius of the Earth, then

A

x=h

B

x=2h

C

x=h/2

D

`x = h^2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Variation in g with height `g. = g[1-(2h)/(R)]`
Variation in g with depth, g. = g `[1=x/R]`
x = 2h
