उत्तर
Let g be the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface (mass = M and radius = R).
Then , `"g" = "Gm"/"R"^2` .

Explain what is meant by the equation :
`g= Gxxm/r^2`
where the symbols have their usual meanings.
The values of g at six distances A, B, C, D, E and F from the surface of the earth are found to be 3.08 m/s2, 9.23 m/s2, 0.57 m/s2, 7.34 m/s2, 0.30 m/s2 and 1.49 m/s2, respectively.
(a) Arrange these values of g according to the increasing distances from the surface of the earth (keeping the value of g nearest to the surface of the earth first)
(b) If the value of distance F be 10000 km from the surface of the earth, state whether this distance is deep . inside the earth or high up in the sky. Give reason for your answer.
