A man can jump `1.5m` on the Earth. Calculate the approximate height he might be able to jump on a planet whose density is one-quarter that of the Earth and whose radius is one-third that of the Earth.

A

1.5 m

B

15 m

C

18 m

D

28 m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`H=(u^2)/(2g)rArrHprop1/g`
`(H_A)/(H_B)=(g_b)/(g_A)=(p/4xx1/3R)/(pR)=1/12[g=4/3GpipR)`
`rArrH_B=12H_A=12xx1.5=18m`
