find the acceleration due to gravity in a mine of depth 640 m if the value at the surfaceis 9.800 ms^-2`. The rdius of the earth is 6400 km.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Let g' be the acceleration due to gravity in mine
`Then, g'=g(1-d/R)`
`=9.8(1-640/(640xx10^3))`
`=9.8((10000-1)/10^4)`
`=9.8/10^4 9999`
`=9.799 m/s^2`
