Assuming the earth to be a sphere of uniform mass density, a body weighs $300 \,N$ on the surface of the earth. How much would it weigh at a depth of $R/4$ below the surface of the earth (in $\,N$)?

$A$ body weighs $48 \ N$ on the surface of the earth. The gravitational force experienced by the body due to the earth at a height equal to one-third the radius of the earth from its surface is (in $N$)

If the density of a small planet is the same as that of the Earth,while the radius of the planet is $0.2$ times that of the Earth,the gravitational acceleration on the surface of that planet is .......... $g$.
