A) increases
B) decreases
C) remain same
D) either or
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
The radius of earth is reduced by =2% (given) the weight of body or gravitational force\[g=\frac{GM}{R_{e}^{2}}\propto \frac{1}{R_{e}^{2}}\] (where \[{{\operatorname{R}}_{e}}\] is the radius of the earth) Hence, if the radius of the earth is reduced then the value of g will be increased so that the weight of body will increase.You need to login to perform this action.
