Choose the correct alternative:
$(a)$ Acceleration due to gravity increases/decreases with increasing altitude.
$(b)$ Acceleration due to gravity increases/decreases with increasing depth (assume the Earth to be a sphere of uniform density).
$(c)$ Acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass of the Earth/mass of the body.
$(d)$ The formula $-G M m(1 / r_{2}-1 / r_{1})$ is more/less accurate than the formula $m g(r_{2}-r_{1})$ for the difference of potential energy between two points $r_{2}$ and $r_{1}$ distance away from the centre of the Earth.

Assume that the Earth is a solid sphere of uniform density and a tunnel is dug along its diameter throughout the Earth. It is found that when a particle is released in this tunnel, it executes a simple harmonic motion. The mass of the particle is $100 \, g$. The time period of the motion of the particle will be (approximately) (take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$, radius of Earth $R = 6400 \, km$):

The acceleration due to gravity at a height $h$ above the surface of the $Earth$ is $g_h$. At a depth $d = 90 \text{ km}$ below the $Earth$'s surface, the acceleration due to gravity is also $g_h$. The value of $h$ is: (in $\text{ km}$)

The height above the surface of the earth where acceleration due to gravity becomes $\frac{g}{9}$ is ( $R$ is the radius of the earth,$g$ is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface).

What is the acceleration due to gravity at a distance of $2R$ from the surface of the Earth,where $R$ is the radius of the Earth?
