Question
Weight of a body of mass m decreases by 1% when it is raised to height h above the Earth′s surface. If the body is taken to a depth h in a mine, then its weight will : -
Options
A.decrease by 0.5%
B.decrease by 2%
C.increase by 0.5%
D.increase by 1%
Solution
g′ = g
1 = 2
⇒ 
; g′ = g
g decreases by 0.5%
1 = 2
⇒ ; g′ = g g decreases by 0.5%Create a free account to view solution
