Two planets $A$ and $B$ have the same mass $M$ and radius $R$. The variation of density $\rho$ of the planets with distance $r$ from the center is shown in the following diagrams. The ratio of acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the planets $A$ and $B$ will be:

The weight of a body on the earth is $400\,N$. Then weight of the body when taken to a depth half of the radius of the earth will be ............ $N$.

$A$ body weighs $300 \ N$ on the surface of the earth. How much will it weigh at a distance $\frac{R}{2}$ below the surface of the earth (in $N$)? ($R$ is the radius of the earth.)

At what distance from the centre of the earth,the value of acceleration due to gravity $g$ will be half that on the surface? ($R =$ radius of earth)

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 .......... $g$.
