\mathrm{\mathrm{g}=\frac{\mathrm{GM}}{\mathrm{R}^2} \quad \ldots \ldots \text { (i) }}

\mathrm{\frac{d g}{d R}=\frac{-2 G M}{R^3} \quad \text { putting } d R=h \text { we obtain }}

\mathrm{\Rightarrow \frac{d g}{h}=\frac{-2 G M}{R^2} \cdot \frac{1}{R} \quad \ldots \text { (ii) }}

From (i) and (ii)

\mathrm{\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{dg}}{\mathrm{g}}=-2\left(\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{R}}\right)}

\mathrm{\Rightarrow \text { Change is }-v e \text {. That means } g \text { decreases. }}
