If the change in the value of g at a height h above the surface of the earth is the same as at a depth x below it, then (both x and h being much smaller than the radius of the earth)

A

`x=h`

B

`x=2h`

C

`x=h/2`

D

`x=h^2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`g(1-(2h)/R)=g(1-x/R)`
`rArrx=2h`
