In order to make the effective acceleration due to gravity equal to zero at the equator, the angular velocity of rotation of the earth about its axis should be $(g = 10\,m{s^{ - 2}}$ and radius of earth is $6400 \,kms)$

If $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface, the gain in the potential energy of an object of mass $m$ raised from the surface of the earth to a height equal to the radius $R$ of the earth, is

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
