If the radius of the Earth were to shrink by one percent, its mass remaining the same, the value of ‘g’ on the Earth’s surface would:
If the radius of the Earth were to shrink by one percent, its mass remaining the same, the value of ‘g’ on the Earth’s surface would:
(b)
If the Earth’s radius shrinks by 1%, the value of ‘g’ increases by approximately 2%. Hence, (b) is correct.
