(b) 2h
(c) h
(d) 4h

Answer:

Explanation:

It is h/2 .

Just calculate g in both the cases by the formula g=GM/R^2

and then substitute  it in s=ut + 1/2 at^2 where u is 0

On comparingetting we get h'=h/2

xoSHOAIBxo: If the radius of the earth were to be increased by a factor of 3 by what factor would its density have to be changed to keep (g) the same
sristijk15: I think the density will remain same . Let me not sureally
xoSHOAIBxo: options are
xoSHOAIBxo: a)3 b)1/3 c)6 d)1/6
sristijk15: I think it is 1/3
xoSHOAIBxo: how ?
xoSHOAIBxo: i am sorry i am wasting your time
sristijk15: Nothing as such
sristijk15: Density×volume= mass. So substitute M by d×v and like the previous answer compare
sristijk15: U will get it as 1/3
