Question

A planet reduces its radius by 1% with its mass remaining same. How acceleration due to gravity varies?

✓

Answer

When mass is same, $\text{g}\propto\frac{1}{\text{R}^2}.$

$\therefore\frac{\Delta\text{g}}{\text{g}}=2\frac{\Delta\text{R}}{\text{R}}$

% variation of g is 2%.

A particle moves from a point $\vec{\text{r}}_1=(2\text{m})\vec{\text{i}}+(3\text{m})\vec{\text{j}}$ to another point $\vec{\text{r}}_2=(3\text{m})\vec{\text{i}}+(2\text{m})\vec{\text{j}}$ during which a certain force $\vec{\text{F}}=(5\text{N})\vec{\text{i}}+(5\text{N})\vec{\text{j}}$ acts on it. Find the work done by the force on the particle during the displacement.
