MCQ
A uniform spherical planet (Radius $R$) has acceleration due to gravity at its surface $g.$ Points $P$ and $Q$ located inside and outside the planet have acceleration due to gravity $\frac{g}{4} .$ Maximum possible separation between $P$ and $Q$ is
  • A
    $\frac{{7R}}{4}$
  • B
    $\frac{{3R}}{4}$
  • ✓
    $\frac{{9R}}{4}$
  • D
    none
✓

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{{9R}}{4}$
c
variation with depth

$g_{d}=g(1-d / R)$

$\frac{g}{4}=g(1-d / R)$

$\frac{d}{R}=3 / 4$

$a=3 R / 4$

variation with height

$g_{h}=g\left(1-\frac{2 h}{R}\right)$

$\frac{g}{4}=g\left(1-\frac{2 h}{R}\right)$

$\frac{2 h}{R}=\frac{3}{4}$

$h=\frac{3 R}{8}$

max distance $=a+h=\frac{3 R}{4}+\frac{3 R}{8}$

$=\frac{9 R}{8}$
