The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth is $g$. What is the acceleration due to gravity at a height $h = R$ above the Earth's surface,where $R$ is the radius of the Earth?

What is the change in mass of a body, when taken $64 \ km$ below the surface of the earth? $[$Take radius of the earth as $6400 \ km]$

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I:$ Rotation of the earth shows effect on the value of acceleration due to gravity $(g)$.
Statement $II:$ The effect of rotation of the earth on the value of $g$ at the equator is minimum and that at the pole is maximum.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Starting from the centre of the earth having radius $R$,the variation of $g$ (acceleration due to gravity) is shown by:

The height of the point vertically above the earth's surface,at which the acceleration due to gravity becomes $1\%$ of its value at the surface is (Radius of the earth $= R$). (in $,R$)
