Three identical bodies of equal mass $M$ each are moving along a circle of radius $R$ under the action of their mutual gravitational attraction. The speed of each body is
Suppose the gravitational force varies inversely as the $n^{th}$ power of the distance. Then, the time period of a planet in circular orbit of radius $R$ around the sun will be proportional to
A body of mass $m$ is lifted up from the surface of the earth to a height three times the radius of the earth. The change in potential energy of the body is
where $g$ is acceleration due to gravity at the surface of earth.
Which graph correctly presents the variation of acceleration due to gravity with the distance from the centre of the earth (radius of the earth $= R_E$ )?
Two spheres of masses $m$ and $M$ are situated in air and the gravitational force between them is $F$. The space around the masses is now filled with a liquid of specific gravity $3$. The gravitationalforce will now be
