Question

Acceleration due to gravity of a body during free fall does not depend upon the:

• A. mass of earth
• B. mass of body
• C. universal gravitational constant
• D. radius of earth

Answer 1

The correct option is B mass of body

We know that: $g=\frac{GM}{R^2}$, where $G=$ gravitational constant, $M=$ mass of the earth and $R=$ radius of the earth.

So, $g$ does not depend on the mass of the falling body.
