The acceleration due to gravity at a distance x from the centre of earth is 8ms^(-2). The earth shrinks in radius by 5% but its mass remains constant. The acceleration due to gravityat a disatance 'x' from the centre of earth now is:

Answer»

`7ms^(-2)`
`8ms^(-2)`
`9ms^(-2)`
`4ms^(-2)`.

Solution :As MASS of earth and distance from the earth REMAINS the same even on SHRINKING
`therefore ` The value of g will not change.
Thus correct choice is (b).
