7.Gravitation
normal
The two planets have radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ and their densities $p_1$ and $p_2$ respectively. The ratio of acceleration due to gravity on them will be
A
$r_1 p_1 : r_2 p_2$
B
$r_1 p_1^2 : r_2 p_2^2$
C
$r_1^2 p_1 : r_2^2 p_2$
D
$r_1 p_2 : r_2 p_1$
Solution
$g=\frac{G M}{r^{2}}=G \cdot \frac{4}{3} \frac{\pi r^{3} p}{r^{2}}=G \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi r p$
$\therefore \quad \frac{g_{1}}{g_{2}}=\frac{r_{1} p_{1}}{r_{2} p_{2}}$
