 If V, R, and g denote respectively the escape velocity from the surface of the earth, the

radius of the earth, and acceleration due to gravity, then the correct equation is:

1. V=gR                                 

2. V=43gR3

3. V = Rg

The value of \(g\) at a particular point is \(9.8~\text{m/s}^2\). Suppose the earth suddenly shrinks uniformly to half its present size without losing any mass then value of \(g\) at the same point will now become: (assuming that the distance of the point from the centre of the earth does not shrink)

1. \(4.9~\text{m/s}^2\) 2. \(3.1~\text{m/s}^2\)
3. \(9.8~\text{m/s}^2\) 4. \(19.6~\text{m/s}^2\)
