  • A
    $-\frac{20 G m}{R}$
  • B
    $-\frac{8 G m}{R}$
  • C
    $-\frac{12 G m}{R}$
  • D
    $-\frac{16 G m}{R}$

Three masses $m, 2m$ and $3m$ are arranged in two triangular configurations as shown in figure $1$ and figure $2$. The work done by an external agent in changing the configuration from figure $1$ to figure $2$ is:

$A$ particle of mass $10\, g$ is kept on the surface of a uniform sphere of mass $100\, kg$ and radius $10\, cm$. Find the work to be done against the gravitational force between them to take the particle far away from the sphere (you may take $G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11}\, Nm^2 / kg^2$).

At some point,the gravitational potential and the gravitational field due to the Earth are both zero. This point is:

If $V$ is the gravitational potential due to a sphere of uniform density on its surface,then its value at the center of the sphere will be:
