Calculate the average density of the Earth

  1. Calculate the average density of the Earth.
  2. Derive how does the value of gravitational force F between two objects change when
    • distance between them is reduced to half and
    • mass of an object is increased four times.
  1. Suppose, the radius of Earth is R, then its volume will be image

    • Let gravitational force be F when the distance between them is R,
      image …(1)
      Now, when the distance reduces to half,
      image …(2)
      On dividing Eq. (1) by Eq. (2), we get
