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

  • question_answer
    Acceleration due to gravity is ?g? on the surface of the earth. The value of acceleration due to gravity at a height of 32 km above earth?s surface is (Radius of the earth = 6400 km)  [KCET (Engg./Med.) 1999]

    A) 0.9 g   

    B)             0.99 g

    C)             0.8 g   

    D)             1.01 g

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[h=32\,km\], \[R=6400\,km\], so \[h<<R\]             \[{g}'=g\left( 1-\frac{2h}{R} \right)\]\[=g\left( 1-\frac{2\times 32}{6400} \right)\]Þ \[{g}'=\frac{99}{100}g=0.99\,g\]
