Four particles,each of mass $M$,move along a circle of radius $R$ under the action of their mutual gravitational attraction as shown in the figure. The speed of each particle is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}(2\sqrt{2}+1)}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}(2\sqrt{2}-1)}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}(\sqrt{2}+1)}$

$A$ man of mass $m$ starts falling towards a planet of mass $M$ and radius $R.$ As he reaches near to the surface,he realizes that he will pass through a small hole in the planet. As he enters the hole,he sees that the planet is really made of two pieces: a spherical shell of negligible thickness of mass $\frac{2M}{3}$ and a point mass $\frac{M}{3}$ at the centre. The change in the force of gravity experienced by the man is:

Statement $(A)$ Two artificial satellites revolving in the same circular orbit have the same period of revolution.
Statement $(B)$ The orbital velocity is inversely proportional to the square root of the radius of the orbit.
Statement $(C)$ The escape velocity of a body is independent of the altitude of the point of projection.

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
$Assertion$ $(A)$: The angular speed of the moon in its orbit about the earth is more than the angular speed of the earth in its orbit about the sun.
$Reason$ $(R)$: The moon takes less time to move around the earth than the time taken by the earth to move around the sun.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

The earth takes $24\; h$ to rotate once about its axis. How much time (in $min$) does the sun take to shift by $1^o$ when viewed from the earth?
