A spherical planet far out in space has a mass `M_(0)` and diameter `D_(0)`. A particle of mass m falling freely near the surface of this planet will experience an accelertion due to gravity which is equal to

A

`4GM_P//D_P^2`

B

`GM_Pm//D_P^2`

C

`GM_P//D_P^2`

D

`4GM_Pm//D_P^2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`g=(GM_P)/((D_P)/2)^2)=(4GM_P)/(D_p^2)`
