7.Gravitation
easy
The acceleration due to gravity near the surface of a planet of radius $R$ and density $d$ is proportional to
A
$\frac{d}{{{R^2}}}$
B
$d{R^2}$
C
$dR$
D
$\frac{d}{R}$
Solution
(c) $g = \frac{4}{3}\pi \rho GR\, \Rightarrow \,g \propto dR$ $(\rho = d\;{\rm{given\, in \,the \,problem)}}$
