    The values of radius and mass of a planet are half than that of earth then value of g on that planet is :

    A)  \[4.9\,m/{{s}^{2}}\]      

    B)         \[9.8\,m/{{s}^{2}}\]                                  

    C)         \[19.6\,m/{{s}^{2}}\]  

    D)                         zero

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

      At earth surface  \[g=\frac{GM}{{{R}^{2}}}\] At planet \[g=\frac{GM/2}{{{(R/2)}^{2}}}=2\left( \frac{GM}{{{R}^{2}}} \right)\]                 \[=2\times 9.8=19.6m/{{s}^{2}}\]
