Important Questions on Gravitation

HARD

IMPORTANT
How does the weight of an object vary with respect to mass and radius of the earth. In a hypothetical case, if the diameter of the earth becomes half of its present value and its mass becomes four times of its present value, then how would the weight of any object on the surface of the earth be affected.

Two objects of masses  m1 and m2 having the same size are dropped simultaneously from heights h1 and h2 respectively. Find out the ratio of time they would take in reaching the ground. Will this ratio remain the same if, 

(i) one of the objects is hollow and the other one is solid and

(ii) both of them are hollow, size remaining the same in each case. Give reason.
