    One can easily weighs the earth by calculating the mass of earth using the formula (in usual notation)

    A)  \[\frac{G}{g}R_{E}^{2}\]

    B)  \[\frac{g}{G}R_{E}^{2}\]

    C)  \[\frac{g}{G}R_{{}}^{2}\]                            

    D)  \[\frac{G}{g}R_{E}^{3}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     Force,                  \[F=G\frac{{{M}_{E}}m}{R_{E}^{2}}\]                                 \[mg=G\frac{{{M}_{E}}m}{R_{E}^{2}}\] \[(\therefore \,F=mg)\]                                 \[g=\frac{G{{M}_{E}}}{R_{E}^{2}}\]                 or                            \[{{M}_{E}}=\frac{gR_{E}^{2}}{G}\]
