The magnitudes of the gravitational force at distances $r_1$ and $r_2$ from the centre of a uniform sphere of radius $R$ and mass $M$ are $F_1$ and $F_2$ respectively. Then

  • A
    $\frac{F_1}{F_2} = \frac{r_1}{r_2}$ if $r_1 < R$ and $r_2 < R$
  • B
    $\frac{F_1}{F_2} = \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}$ if $r_1 > R$ and $r_2 > R$
  • C
    $\frac{F_1}{F_2} = \frac{r_1}{r_2}$ if $r_1 > R$ and $r_2 > R$
  • D
    Both $(a)$ and $(b)$

Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A) :$ $A$ simple pendulum is taken to a planet of mass and radius,$4$ times and $2$ times,respectively,than the Earth. The time period of the pendulum remains the same on Earth and the planet.
Reason $(R) :$ The mass of the pendulum remains unchanged at Earth and the other planet. In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below $:$

The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the planet is the same as that at the surface of the earth,but the density of the planet is thrice that of the earth. If $R$ is the radius of the earth,the radius of the planet will be:

Weight of a body is maximum at

In order to make the effective acceleration due to gravity equal to zero at the equator,the angular velocity of rotation of the earth about its axis should be $(g = 10\,m/s^2$ and radius of earth is $6400\,km)$.
