If $R$ is the radius of earth and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface. Then mean density of earth is ..........
$\frac{4 \pi G}{3 g R}$
$\frac{3 \pi R}{4 g G}$
$\frac{3 g}{4 \pi R G}$
$\frac{\pi R g}{12 G}$
A particle of mass $M$ is situated at the centre of a spherical shell of same mass and radius $a$. The gravitational potential at a point situated at $\frac {a}{2}$ distance from the centre, will be
The additional kinetic energy to be provided to a satellite of mass $m$ revolving around a planet of mass $M$, to transfer it from a circular orbit of radius $R_1$ to another of radius $R_2\,(R_2 > R_1)$ is
Suppose, the acceleration due to gravity at the Earth's surface is $10\, m\, s^{-2}$ and at the surface of Mars it is $4.0\, m\, s^{-2}$. A $60\, kg$ pasenger goes from the Earth to the Mars in a spaceship moving with a constant velocity. Neglect all other objects in the sky. Which part of figure best represents the weight (net gravitational force) of the passenger as a function of time?
If the radius of the earth were to shrink by $1\%$ its mass remaining the same, the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface would
A particle of mass $M$ is placed at the centre of a uniform spherical shell of mass $2M$ and radius $R$. The gravitational potential on the surface of the shell is
