The acceleration due to gravity at a height 1 km above the earth is the same as at a depth d below the surface of earth. Then:
d=12km
d=1km
d=2km
d=32km
Solution:
The correct option is A d=2km Acceteration due to gravity at height h, gn=g0(1−h/R) h=1km Acceleration due to gravity at depth d, gd=g0(1−d/R) gh=gd g0(1−h/R)=g0(1−d/R)→d=2h=2×1km d=2km
