    An object weights 72 N on earth. Its weight at a height of R/2 from earth is                       [AIIMS 2000]

    A) 32 N   

    B)             56 N

    C)             72 N   

    D)             Zero

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[{g}'=g\,{{\left( \frac{R}{R+h} \right)}^{2}}=g\,{{\left( \frac{R}{R+\frac{R}{2}} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{4}{9}g\]             \[\therefore \,\,\,W'=\frac{4}{9}\times W=\frac{4}{9}\times 72=32N\]
