NEET Physics Acceleration due to gravity MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Two planets of radii in the ratio of 2 : 3 are made from the matter the densities of which are in the ratio of 3 : 2 The ratio of acceleration due to gravity g₁:g₂ at the surface of the two planets will be:-

A

1

B

2.25

C

4/9

D

0.12

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The acceleration due to gravity is given by g = 4/3 π G ρ R. The ratio g₁:g₂ = (ρ₁R₁)/(ρ₂R₂) = (3×2)/(2×3) = 2.25.
