JEE Main & Advanced Physics Gravitation / गुरुत्वाकर्षण Question Bank Acceleration Due to Gravity

  • question_answer
    If R is the radius of the earth and g the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface, the mean density of the earth is             [CPMT 1990; BHU 1998; Kerala PMT 2002; MH CET (Med.) 1999; CBSE PMT 1995]

    A)             \[4\pi G/3gR\]

    B)               \[3\pi R/4gG\]

    C)             \[3g/4\pi RG\]

    D)             \[\pi RG/12G\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

        \[g=\frac{GM}{{{R}^{2}}}\] and \[M=\frac{4}{3}\pi {{R}^{3}}\times \rho \]             \[\therefore \,\,g=\frac{4}{3}\frac{\pi {{R}^{3}}\times GD}{{{R}^{2}}}\,\Rightarrow \,D=\frac{3g.}{4\pi RG}\]
