Q. The variation of acceleration due to gravity g with distance d from centre of the earth is best represented by (R = Earth’s radius) :

$g = \frac{GM x}{R ^{3}}$ inside the earth [Straight line]
$g = \frac{GM}{r ^{2}}$ outside the earth
where $M$ is mass of earth

Q. The variation of acceleration due to gravity g with distance d from centre of the earth is best represented by (R = Earth’s radius) :

g=R3GMx​ inside the earth [Straight line] g=r2GM​ outside the earth where M is mass of earth

$g = \frac{GM x}{R ^{3}}$ inside the earth [Straight line]
$g = \frac{GM}{r ^{2}}$ outside the earth
where $M$ is mass of earth
