If the change in the value of at a height above the surface of the earth is the same as at a depth below it, then (both and being much smaller than the radius of the earth)
- A
- Correct answerB
- C
- D
Solution
The value of g at the height h from the surface of earth
The value of g at depth x below the surface of earth
These two are given equal, hence
On solving, we get
The value of g at depth x below the surface of earth
These two are given equal, hence
On solving, we get
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
