The mass of the moon is $\frac{1}{81}$ of the earth,but the gravitational pull (acceleration due to gravity) is $\frac{1}{6}$ of the earth. This is due to the fact that:

The value of $g$ at the surface of the earth is $9.8 \, m/s^2$. Then the value of $g$ at a place $480 \, km$ above the surface of the earth will be nearly .......... $m/s^2$ (radius of the earth is $6400 \, km$).

If the mass of Earth is $80$ times that of a planet and its diameter is double that of the planet,and $g$ on Earth is $9.8 \ m/s^2$,then the value of $g$ on that planet is ........ $m/s^2$.

Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth is $g$. If the diameter of Earth is reduced to one-third of its original value and mass remains unchanged,then the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth is . . . . . . $g$.

$A$ narrow but tall cabin is falling freely near the earth's surface. Inside the cabin,two small stones $A$ and $B$ are released from rest (relative to the cabin). Initially $A$ is much above the centre of mass and $B$ is much below the centre of mass of the cabin. $A$ close observation of the motion of $A$ and $B$ will reveal that
