if density of a planet is double that of the earth the radius 1.5 times that of the earth, the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet is???
a)3/4 times of earth
b) 3 times of earth

Density of planet = 2×density of earthDp= 2 ×Deradius of the planet = 1.5 radius of the earthRp = 1.5×ReSinceDp= 2 ×DeMp43πRp3 = 2×Me43πRe3 Mp = 2×1.53Megpge = GMpRp2GMeRe2= 2×1.531.52 = 3gp = 3gehence second is correct.
