The height 'h' at which the weight of a body will be the same as that at the same depth 'h' from the surface of the earth is (Radius of the earth is R and effect of the rotation of the earth is neglected):
- \(\frac{\sqrt{5} R-R}{2}\)
- \(\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2} R-R\)
- \(\frac{\mathbf{R}}{2}\)
- \(\frac{\sqrt{3} R-R}{2}\)
Answer
(A) 5 R-R 2
