    The ratio of radii of the earth to another planet is \[\frac{2}{3}\] and the ratio of their mean densities is \[\frac{4}{5}\]. If an astronaut can jump to a maximum height of \[1.5\] m on the earth, with the same effort, the maximum height he can jump on the planet is :

    A)  1m                              

    B)  \[0.8\] m

    C)  \[0.5\] m                                  

    D)  \[1.25\]m

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given \[\frac{{{R}_{e}}}{{{R}_{P}}}\,=\frac{2}{3}\] and \[\frac{{{d}_{e}}}{{{d}_{P}}}=\frac{4}{5}\] As, \[Mg=gR_{e}^{2}\] and \[M={{d}_{e}}\times \frac{4}{3}\pi R_{e}^{3}\] \[{{d}_{e}}\times \,\frac{4}{3}\,\pi {{R}_{e}}\times G={{g}_{e}}\]         ?(i) Similarly for planet, \[{{d}_{P}}\times \,\frac{4}{3}\,\pi {{R}_{P}}\,G={{g}_{p}}\] ?(ii) Dividing eq. (i) by eq. (ii) we get             \[\frac{{{g}_{e}}}{{{g}_{P}}}=\frac{{{R}_{e}}}{{{R}_{P}}}\,\times \frac{{{d}_{e}}}{{{d}_{p}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\frac{{{g}_{e}}}{{{g}_{p}}}=\frac{2}{3}\times \,\frac{4}{5}\,=\frac{8}{15}\] \[\because \,\,h=\frac{{{V}^{2}}}{2g}\,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\frac{{{h}_{p}}}{{{h}_{e}}}\,=\frac{{{g}_{e}}}{{{g}_{p}}}=\frac{8}{15}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,{{h}_{p}}=\frac{8}{15}\times 1.5\,=\frac{8}{15}=0.8m\]
