    Imagine a new planet having the same density as that of earth but it is 3 times bigger than the earth in size. If the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth is g and that on the surface of the new planet is g?, then

    A) \[g'=g/9\]

    B) \[g'=27g\]

    C) \[g=9g\]

    D) \[g'=3g\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] We know that \[g=\frac{GM}{{{R}^{2}}}=\frac{G\left( \frac{4}{3}\pi {{R}^{3}} \right)\rho }{{{R}^{2}}}=\frac{4}{3}g\pi GR\rho \] \[\frac{g'}{g}=\frac{R'}{R}=\frac{3R}{R}=3\therefore g'=3g\]
