Q1:

If g1 and g2 are the gravitational accelerations on two mountains A and B respectively, the weight of a body when transported from A to B will be multiplied by

A g1

B g2

C

D

ANS:D -

Wa=Wb.

mg1=mg2.
So when mass is transferred to Mountain B then,
0=mg2/mg1.
So, m will cancel m and thus it becomes g2/g1.
