Question

If R is the radius of the earth and g the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface, the mean density of the earth is


  1. πRg/12G
  2. 4πG/3gR
  3. 3πR/4gG
  4. 3g/4πRG

A
4πG/3gR
B
3πR/4gG
C
3g/4πRG
D
πRg/12G
Solution
Verified by Toppr

We know that
g=GMR2
Also, density =mass×volume
M=density×volumeM=P×4πR33R2=P×4πR3
Put value of m in g=GMR2P=3g4πRG
