Solution

The correct option is B False

Explanation:

  1. g=GMR2 is the acceleration due to gravity where G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of earth and R is the radius of the earth.
  2. As a result, it is independent of the body's mass on which it acts.

Hence the given statement is false.
