Imagine a new planet having the same density as that of the Earth but \(3\) times bigger than the Earth in size. If the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth is \(g\) and that on the surface of the new planet is \(g',\) then:
1. \(g' = 3g\) 2. \(g' = 9g\)
3. \(g' = \frac{g}{9}\) 4. \(g' = 27g\)

The gravitational potential energy of a particle of mass \(m\) increases by \(mgh,\) when it is raised through a height \(h\) in a uniform gravitational field "\(g\)". If a particle of mass \(m\) is raised through a height \(h\) in the earth's gravitational field (\(g\): the field on the earth's surface) and the increase in gravitational potential energy is \(U\), then:
1. \(U > mgh\)
2. \(U < mgh\)
3. \(U = mgh\)
4. any of the above may be true depending on the value of \(h,\) considered relative to the radius of the earth.
