Assuming the Earth to be a sphere of uniform density, the acceleration due to gravity:

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 $R = 6400 \, km$):

If $R_{E}$ is the radius of the Earth,then the ratio between the acceleration due to gravity at a depth $r$ below and a height $r$ above the Earth's surface is: (Given: $r < R_{E}$)

The height $h$ above the earth's surface at which the value of acceleration due to gravity $g$ becomes $\frac{g}{3}$ is ($R=$ radius of the earth).
