$m ω^{2} . \frac{2 d}{3} = \frac{G . m . 2 m}{d^{2}} \Rightarrow ω = \sqrt[]{\frac{3 G m}{d^{3}}}$

$T = \frac{2 π}{ω} = 2 π \sqrt[]{\frac{d^{3}}{3 G m}}$

$F_{1} c o s 45 ° + F_{2} c o s 45 ° + F_{3} = \frac{m v^{2}}{r}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{G m^{2}}{{(\sqrt[]{2} r)}^{2}} . \frac{1}{\sqrt[]{2}} + \frac{G m^{2}}{{(\sqrt[]{2} r)}^{2}} . \frac{1}{\sqrt[]{2}} + \frac{G m^{2}}{{(2 r)}^{2}} = \frac{m v^{2}}{r}$

$\Rightarrow v = \sqrt[]{\frac{G m}{4 r} (2 \sqrt[]{2} + 1)}$

Putting m = 1 kg and r = 1 m,

$v = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt[]{G (1 + 2 \sqrt[]{2})}$

$\frac{G M}{{(3 R / 2)}^{2}} = \frac{G M}{R^{3}} * r$

$\Rightarrow O A = \frac{4 R}{9} = r$

$A B = R - \frac{4 R}{9} = \frac{5 R}{9} \Rightarrow O A : A B = 4 : 5 = x : y \Rightarrow x = 4$

Assume that a tunnel is dug along a chord of the earth, at a perpendicular distance (R/2) from the earth's centre, where 'R' is the radius of the Earth. The wall of the tunnel is frictionless. If a particle is released in this tunnel, it will execute a simple harmonic motion with a time period

Find the gravitational force of attraction between the ring and sphere as shown in the diagram where the plane of the ring is perpendicular to the joining the centres. If $\sqrt[]{8} R$ is the distance between the centres of a ring (of mass 'm') and a sphere (mass 'M') where both have equal radius 'R'.

Method – I:

$F = M_{s p h e r e} E_{r i n g} = M * \frac{G m x}{{(R^{2} + x^{2})}^{\frac{3}{2}}} = M * \frac{G m x \sqrt[]{8} R}{{(R^{2} + 8 R^{2})}^{\frac{3}{2}}} = \frac{\sqrt[]{8} G M m}{27 R^{2}}$

Method – II:

$F = \int d F c o s θ = c o s θ \int (d m) \frac{G M}{(R^{2} + 8 R^{2})} = \frac{\sqrt[]{8} G M m}{27 R^{2}}$

A body weights 49N on a spring balance at the north pole. What will be its weight recorded on the same weighing machine, if it is shifted to the equator?

[use g = $\frac{G m}{R^{2}} = 9.8 m s^{- 2}$ and radius of earth, R = 6400km].

As we go pole to equator, acceleration due to gravity decreases. So, weight of the body will also reduces. Thus, weight on equator will be slightly smaller than 49 N.

The same size images are formed by a convex lens by a convex lens when the object is placed at 20cm or at 10cm from the lens. The focal length of convex lens is ……………cm.

Image is virtual, when an object is placed at distance 10 cm from the lens and image is real when object is placed at 20 cm from the lens.

Thus, m₁ = -m₂ => $\frac{f}{f - 10} = \frac{- f}{f - 20} \Rightarrow f = 15 c m$

$T = 2 π \sqrt[]{\frac{r^{3}}{G M_{e}}}$

$T_{B} - T_{A} = \frac{2 π}{\sqrt[]{G M_{e}}} (r_{B}^{3 / 2} - r_{A}^{3 / 2}) = \frac{2 * 3.14}{\sqrt[]{6.67 * 1 0^{- 11} * 6 * 1 0^{24}}} [{(8 * 1 0^{6})}^{\frac{3}{2}} - {(7 * 1 0^{6})}^{\frac{3}{2}}]$

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.

Assertion A : The escape velocities of planet Ad and B are same. But A and B are of unequal mass.

Reason R : The product of their mass and radius must be same. M₁ R₁ = M₂R₂

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

${(v_{e})}_{A} = {(v_{e})}_{B} \Rightarrow \frac{M_{1}}{R_{1}} = \frac{M_{2}}{R_{2}}$

R is not correct.
