    Consider earth to be a sphere of mass M and radius R. The acceleration due to gravity at a depth d below the earths surface (gd) is

    A)                 \[gd=g\left\{ 1-\frac{d}{R} \right\}\]      

    B) \[gd=g\left\{ 1-\frac{2d}{R} \right\}\]

    C)                  \[{{g}_{d}}=g\]                                

    D) \[gd=g\left\{ 1+\frac{d}{R} \right\}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     The acceleration due to gravity at a depth d below the earths surface \[{{g}_{d}}=g\left[ 1-\frac{d}{R} \right]\]
