Name the factors on which the g of a planet depends.How?

Open in App

Solution

The acceleration due to gravity is given by,
g= $\frac{G M}{R^{2}}$ , where G is gravitational constant, M is mass of the planet and R is radius of the planet
Acceleration due to Gravity of a particular planet depends on the mass of the planet and the radius of the planet.
g ∝ Mass of the planet,
g ∝ $\frac{1}{r a d i u s o f t h e p l a n e t}$
