Two spheres of masses $$m$$ and $$M$$ are situated in air and the gravitational force between them is $$F.$$ The space around the masses is now filled with a liquid of specific gravity $$3.$$ The gravitational force will now be
Escape velocity, $${v_e} = \sqrt {2gR} = \sqrt {\frac{{2GM}}{R}} \,\,\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow {V_e} \propto {m^0}$$
Where $$M, \,R$$ are the mass and radius of the planet respectively. In this expression the mass of the body ($$m$$ ) is not present showing that the escape velocity is independent of the mass.

This question contains Statement-1 and Statement-2. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements. Statement-1 : For a mass $$M$$ kept at the centre of a cube of side $$'a\,',$$ the flux of gravitational field passing through its sides $$4\pi GM.$$ Statement-2 : If the direction of a field due to a point source is radial and its dependence on the distance $$'r\,'$$ from the source is given as $$\frac{1}{{{r^2}}},$$ its flux through a closed surface depends only on the strength of the source enclosed by the surface and not on the size or shape of the surface.
A
Statement -1 is false, Statement-2 is true
B
Statement -1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement -2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1
C
Statement -1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement -2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1
D
Statement -1 is true, Statement-2 is false
Answer :
Statement -1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement -2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1
Gravitational flux through a closed surface is given by $$\int {\overrightarrow {{E_{g\,\,}}} \,\,\overrightarrow d S = - 4\pi GM} $$
where, $$M =$$ mass enclosed in the closed surface
This is relationship is is valid valid when when $$\left| {{E_g}} \right| \propto \frac{1}{{{r^2}}}.$$

A spherical uniform planet is rotating about its axis. The velocity of a point on its equator is $$v.$$ Due to the rotation of planet about its axis the acceleration due to gravity $$g$$ at equator is $$\frac{1}{2}$$ of $$g$$ at poles. The escape velocity of a particle on the pole of planet in terms of $$v$$ is

A planet of radius $$R = \frac{1}{{10}} \times \left( {{\text{radius of Earth}}} \right)$$ has the same mass density as Earth. Scientists dig a well of depth $$\frac{R}{5}$$ on it and lower a wire of the same length and a linear mass density $${10^{ - 3}}kg\,{m^{ - 1}}$$ into it. If the wire is not touching anywhere, the force applied at the top of the wire by a person holding it in place is (take the radius of Earth $$ = 6 \times {10^6}\,m$$ and the acceleration due to gravity on Earth is $$10\,m{s^{ - 2}}$$ )
$${R_p} = \frac{{{R_e}}}{{10}} = 6 \times {10^5}\,m$$
The mass of the wire $$ = {10^{ - 3}} \times 1.2 \times {10^5} = 120\,kg$$
Let $${g_{pM}}$$ be the acceleration due to gravity at point $$M$$ which is the mid point of the
wire and is at a depth of $$\frac{{{R_p}}}{{10}}.$$
Let $${g_p}$$ be the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the planet.
$$\eqalign{
& {g_p} = \frac{4}{3}\pi \rho G{R_P}\,;\,\,{g_e} = \frac{4}{3}\pi \rho G{R_E} \cr
& \therefore \frac{{{g_p}}}{{{g_e}}} = \frac{{{R_p}}}{{{R_E}}} = \frac{1}{{10}} \cr
& \therefore {g_p} = \frac{{10}}{{10}} = 1\,m{s^{ - 2}}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{and}} \cr
& {g_{pM}} = {g_p}\left[ {1 - \frac{{\frac{{{R_p}}}{{10}}}}{{{R_p}}}} \right] = 1\left[ {1 - 0.1} \right] = 0.9\,m{s^{ - 2}} \cr} $$
$$\therefore $$ Force $$=$$ mass of wire × $${g_{pM}}$$ $$=$$ 120 × 0.9 $$=$$ 108 N

A satellite of mass $$m$$ is orbiting the earth in a circular orbit of radius $$R.$$ It starts losing energy due to small air resistance at the rate of $$C\,J/s.$$ Find the time taken for the satellite to reach the earth.
A
$$\frac{{GMm}}{C}\left[ {\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}} \right]$$
B
$$\frac{{GMm}}{{2C}}\left[ {\frac{1}{R} + \frac{1}{r}} \right]$$
C
$$\frac{{GMm}}{{2C}}\left[ {\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}} \right]$$
D
$$\frac{{2GMm}}{C}\left[ {\frac{1}{R} + \frac{1}{r}} \right]$$
Body will move tangentially to the original orbit with same velocity.

A particle of mass $$M$$ is situated at the centre of a spherical shell of same mass and radius $$a.$$ The gravitational potential at a point situated at $$\frac{a}{2}$$ distance from the centre, will be
Gravitational potential at point $$\frac{a}{2}$$ distance from centre is given by, $$V = - \frac{{GM}}{a} - \frac{{GM}}{{\frac{a}{2}}} = - \frac{{3GM}}{a}$$

A satellite $$A$$ of mass $$m$$ is at a distance of $$r$$ from the surface of the earth. Another satellite $$B$$ of mass $$2\,m$$ is at a distance of $$2\,r$$ from the earth’s centre. Their time periods are in the ratio of
Mass of satellite does not affect time period
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{{T_A}}}{{{T_B}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{r_1}}}{{{r_2}}}} \right)^{\frac{3}{2}}} = {\left( {\frac{r}{{2r}}} \right)^{\frac{3}{2}}} = {\left( {\frac{1}{8}} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}} = \frac{1}{{2\sqrt 2 }} \cr
& \therefore {T_A} = {T_B} = 1:2\sqrt 2 \cr} $$
