How does the gravitational acceleration on a surface of planet change, if its radius shrinks...
The initial acceleration of a mass on the Earth's surface would have the value
$$
a_i = \frac{GM}{r^2}.
$$
Where $M$ is the mass of the Earth and $r$ the distance from the Earth's center. … If the Earth shrinks by $1 \%$ then the final acceleration will be
$$
a_f = \frac{GM}{(0.99r)^2}.
$$
The increase in acceleration will be equal to $ a_f/a_i = (0.99)^{-2} \simeq 1.02$. …
