$A$ spherical shell is cut into two pieces along a plane as shown in the figure. $P$ is a point on the plane of the cut. The gravitational field at $P$ due to the upper part is $I_1$ and that due to the lower part is $I_2$. What is the relation between them?

  • A
    $I_1 > I_2$
  • B
    $I_2 > I_1$
  • C
    $I_1 = I_2$
  • D
    No definite relation

The gravitational force on a body of mass $1.5 \,kg$ situated at a point is $45 \,N$. The gravitational field intensity at that point is ......... $N/kg$.

Six objects are placed at the vertices of a regular hexagon. The geometric centre of the hexagon is at the origin with objects $1$ and $4$ on the $X$-axis (see figure). The mass of the $k$-th object is $m_k = k^i M |\cos \theta_k|$, where $i$ is an integer, $M$ is a constant with the dimension of mass, and $\theta_k$ is the angular position of the $k$-th vertex measured from the positive $X$-axis in the counter-clockwise sense. If the net gravitational force on a body at the centroid vanishes, the value of $i$ is

The density of a solid sphere of radius $R$ is $\rho(r) = 20 \frac{r^2}{R^2}$,where $r$ is the distance from its centre. If the gravitational field due to this sphere at a distance $4R$ from its centre is $E$ and $G$ is the gravitational constant,then the ratio of $\frac{E}{GR}$ is
