Answer:
The acceleration due to gravity is times the value of g at the Earth’s surface.
(D) is correct option.
Explanation:
Given that,
Radius = 4000 miles
We need to calculate the gravitational force at surface
Gravitational force on the mass m on the surface of the earth
At r = R
....(I)
We need to calculate the gravitational force at height
Gravitational force on a mass m from the center of the earth,
At r = R + R = 2 R
....(II)
Dividing equation (II) by equation (I)
Hence, The acceleration due to gravity is times the value of g at the Earth’s surface.
