If the change in the value of ' $g$ ' at a height ' $h$ ' above the surface of the earth is same as at a depth $x$ below it, then ( $x$ and $h$ being much smaller than the radius of the earth)

Suppose the gravitational force varies inversely as the nth power of distance. Then the time period of a planet in circular orbit of radius $R$ around the sun will be proportional to

Figure shows the variation of the gravitatioal acceleration $a_g$ of four planets with the radial distance $r$ from the centre of the planet for $r\geq $ radius of the planet. Plots $1$ and $2$ coincide for $r\geq R_2$ and plots $3$ and $4$ coincide for $r \geq  R_4$. The sequence of the planets in the descending order of their densities is
