If the radius of earth is reduced to three-fourth of its present value without change in its mass then value of duration of the day of earth will be ________ hours 30 minutes.
A simple pendulum is placed at a place where its distance from the earth's surface is equal to the radius of the earth. If the length of the string is $$4 m$$, then the time period of small oscillations will be __________ s. [take $$g=\pi^2 m s^{-2}$$]
If the earth suddenly shrinks to $$\frac{1}{64}$$th of its original volume with its mass remaining the same, the period of rotation of earth becomes $$\frac{24}{x}$$h. The value of x is __________.
If the acceleration due to gravity experienced by a point mass at a height h above the surface of earth is same as that of the acceleration due to gravity at a depth $$\alpha \mathrm{h}\left(\mathrm{h}<<\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{e}}\right)$$ from the earth surface. The value of $$\alpha$$ will be _________.
(use $$\left.\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{e}}=6400 \mathrm{~km}\right)$$
