    A body weight W newton at the surface of the earth. Its weight at a height equal to half the radius of the earth will be [UPSEAT 2002]

    A)             \[\frac{W}{2}\]          

    B)             \[\frac{2W}{3}\]

    C)             \[\frac{4W}{9}\]        

    D)             \[\frac{8W}{27}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

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