Time period of simple pendulum increases by an amount $\sqrt 2 $ times at height $'h'$ from the surface of earth. Then the value of $h$ is
$0.25\ R$
$0.4\ R$
$0.5\ R$
$R$
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
Two spherical bodies of mass $M$ and $5M$ and radii $R$ and $2R$ respectively are released in free space with initial separation between their centres equal to $12\,R$. If they attract each other due to gravitational force only, then the distance covered by the smaller body just before collision is
In a satellite if the time of revolution is $T$, then $P E$ is proportional to ..........
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
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 ..........
