1.

If the radius of the earth is 6400 km, the height above the surface of the earth where the value of acceleration due to gravity will be `4%` of its value on the surface of the earth isA. 6400 kmB. 64 kmC. 57600 kmD. 25600 km

Answer» Correct Answer - d
`(g_(h))/(g)=((R)/(R+h))^(2)`
`(4)/(100)=((R)/(R+h))^(2)`
`(1)/(5)=(R)/(R+h)`
`R+h=5R`
`h=4R=4xx6400=25600km`.
