    A body weighs 72 N on the surface of the earth. What is the gravitational force on it, at a height equal to half the radius of the earth? [NEET 2020]

    A) 32 N    

    B) 30 N

    C) 24 N    

    D) 48 N

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[m{{g}_{h}}=\frac{m{{g}_{0}}}{{{\left( 1+\frac{h}{R} \right)}^{2}}}\]
                \[W=\frac{72}{{{\left( 1+\frac{R/2}{R} \right)}^{2}}}\]
                \[W=\frac{72}{{{(3/2)}^{2}}}=\frac{4}{9}\times 72=32\,N\]
