Q1medium

If the Earth suddenly stops rotating, what will be the effect on the value of acceleration due to gravity 'g' at the equator?

Q2medium

At what height 'h' above the Earth's surface will the acceleration due to gravity be 1/41/4th of its value at the surface? (Assume Earth's radius R=6400,kmR = 6400,\text{km})

Q3easy

An object weighs WW at the Earth's surface. What will be its weight at a depth d=R/2d = R/2 below the Earth's surface, assuming uniform density Earth?

Q4medium

If the radius of the Earth shrinks by 1% (mass remaining constant), what would be the percentage change in the acceleration due to gravity at its surface?

Q5medium

A body is taken to a height hh above the Earth's surface. If the decrease in the value of 'g' is 11%, then the height hh is (Given Earth's radius R=6400,kmR = 6400,\text{km}):

Q6easy

At what depth 'd' below the Earth's surface will the acceleration due to gravity be 1/31/3rd of its value at the surface? (Assume Earth's radius RR)
