Section E
34.Case Study: Acceleration due to gravity

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions

The acceleration for any object moving under the sole influence of gravity is
known as acceleration due to gravity. So, for an object of mass m, the
acceleration experienced by it is usually denoted by the symbol g which is
related to Fby Newton's second law by relation F= mg. Thus

G F/m= GM/R
Acceleration g is readily measurable as Re is a known quantity. The
measurement of G by Cavendish's experiment (or otherwise), combined with
knowledge of g and Re. enables one to estimate Me from the above equation.
This is the reason why there is a popular statement regarding Cavendish
"Cavendish weighed the earth". The value of g decrease as we go upwards
from the earth's surface or downwards, but it is maximum at its surface.

) What will happen to the weight of the body at the south-pole, if the
earth stops rotating about its polar axis? (1)
(i) If G is universal gravitational constant and g is acceleration due to
gravity, then what is the unit of the quantity G/g? (1)
ii) If the mass of the earth is doubled and its radius halved, then what will
be the value of the new acceleration due to gravity in terms of'g'? (2)
OR
(ii) If the distance between the sun and the earth is increased by three
times, then what will happen to the attraction between the two?
Express the result as a percentage of the original attraction.
