PHXI08:GRAVITATION

359610 Two planets \(A\) and \(B\) of radii \(R\) and \(1.5 R\) have densities \(\rho\) and \(\rho / 2\) respectively. The ratio of acceleration due to gravity at the surface of \(B\) to \(A\) is

1 \(2: 1\)
2 \(2: 3\)
3 \(4: 3\)
4 \(3: 4\)

359611 Four particles, each of mass \(m\), are placed at the corners of square and moving along a circle of radius \(r\) under the influence of mutual gravitational attraction. The speed of each particle will be -

1 \(\sqrt{\dfrac{G m}{r}}\)
2 \(\sqrt{\dfrac{G m}{r}}(2 \sqrt{2}+1)\)
3 \(\sqrt{\dfrac{2 \sqrt{2} G m}{r}}\)
4 \(\sqrt{\dfrac{G m}{r}\left(\dfrac{2 \sqrt{2}+1}{4}\right)}\)

359612 A planet has double the mass of the earth. Its average density is equal to that of the earth. An object weighing \(W\) on earth will weigh on that planet

1 \({2\,W}\)
2 \({2^{2/3}}\,W\)
3 \({2^{1/3}}\,W\)\({2^{1/3}}\,W\)
4 \(W\)

359613 If the radius of the earth were to shrink by one percent, its mass remaining the same, the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface would

1 Remain unchanged
2 Decrease by \(0.5 \%\)
3 Be zero
4 Increase by \(2 \%\)
PHXI08:GRAVITATION

359614 The earth is an approximate sphere. If the interior contained matter which is not of the same density everywhere, then on the surface of the earth, the acceleration due to gravity

1 Will be directed towards the centre but not the same everywhere
2 Will have the same value everywhere but not directed towards the centre
3 Will be same everywhere in magnitude directed towards the centre
4 Cannot be zero at any point
