If RE be the radius of Earth, then the ratio between the acceleration due to gravity at a depth 'r' below and a height 'r' above the earth surface is : (Given : r < RE)

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 1−rRE−r2RE2−r3RE31 - {r \over {{R_E}}} - {{{r^2}} \over {R_E^2}} - {{{r^3}} \over {R_E^3}}
  • B 1+rRE+r2RE2+r3RE31 + {r \over {{R_E}}} + {{{r^2}} \over {R_E^2}} + {{{r^3}} \over {R_E^3}}
  • C 1+rRE−r2RE2+r3RE31 + {r \over {{R_E}}} - {{{r^2}} \over {R_E^2}} + {{{r^3}} \over {R_E^3}}
  • D 1+rRE−r2RE2−r3RE31 + {r \over {{R_E}}} - {{{r^2}} \over {R_E^2}} - {{{r^3}} \over {R_E^3}}

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

gup=g(1+rR)2{g_{up}} = {g \over {{{\left( {1 + {r \over R}} \right)}^2}}}

gdown=g(1−rR){g_{down}} = g\left( {1 - {r \over R}} \right)

gdowngup=(1−rR)(1+rR)2{{{g_{down}}} \over {{g_{up}}}} = \left( {1 - {r \over R}} \right){\left( {1 + {r \over R}} \right)^2}

=(1−rR)(1+2rR+r2R2)= \left( {1 - {r \over R}} \right)\left( {1 + {{2r} \over R} + {{{r^2}} \over {{R^2}}}} \right)

=1+rR−r2R2−r3R3= 1 + {r \over R} - {{{r^2}} \over {{R^2}}} - {{{r^3}} \over {{R^3}}}
