Problem

A body is first taken to a small height hh above the Earth’s surface so that its weight decreases by 4%4\%. It is then taken to a depth dd below the surface so that its weight again decreases by the same 4%4\% relative to the surface value. Neglecting higher-order effects, the ratio d/hd/h is closest to (a) 44 (b) 22 (c) 11 (d) 0.50.5
