33. 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

35. 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 $$10\,m{s^{ - 2}}$$  )
