| 1. | \(\sqrt{\dfrac{4GM}{R}}\) | 2. | \(\sqrt{\dfrac{4GM}{3R}}\) |
| 3. | \(\sqrt{\dfrac{8GM}{3R}}\) | 4. | \(\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{3R}}\) |

NEET MCQ Books for XIth & XIIth Physics, Chemistry & BiologyThe acceleration due to gravity, \(g\), near a spherically symmetric planet's surface decreases with height, \(h\) according to the relation:
\(g(h)= g_s-k\cdot h\), where \(h\ll\) the radius of the planet.
The escape speed from the planet's surface is:
| 1. | \(\dfrac{g_s}{2\sqrt k}\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{g_s}{\sqrt k}\) |
| 3. | \(\dfrac{2g_s}{\sqrt k}\) | 4. | \(g_s\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{k}} \) |
