The acceleration due to gravity on the E...

The acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface is about 6 times that on the Moon. The radius of the Moon is nearly `(4)/(18)` times that of the Earth. The ratio of the binding energy of a body at rest on the Earth's surface to that on the Moon's surface is about

A

`(5)/(3)`

B

`(108)/(4)

C

`(5)/(108)`

D

`(3)/(5)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`((BE)_("on Earth"))/((BE)_("on Moon"))=(g_(E))/(g_(M))xx(R_(E))/(R_(M))=6xx(18)/(4)`
