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

  • question_answer
    If both the mass and the radius of the earth decrease by 1%, the value of the acceleration due to gravity will [MP PET 2004]

    A)              Decrease by 1%          

    B)             Increase by 1%

    C)             Increase by 2%

    D)               Remain unchanged

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

         As \[g=\frac{GM}{{{R}^{2}}}\] therefore 1% decrease in mass will decreases the value of g by 1%. But 1% decrease in radius will increase the value of      g by 2%. As a whole value of g increase by 1%.
