- Main 2022PhysicsSingle correct
Given below are two statements :
Statement I : The law of gravitation holds good for any pair of bodies in the universe.
Statement II : The weight of any person becomes zero when the person is at the centre of the earth.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Three identical particles A, B and C of mass 100 kg each are placed in a straight line with AB = BC = 13 m. The gravitational force on a fourth particle P of the same mass is F, when placed at a distance 13 m from the particle B on the perpendicular bisector of the line AC. The value of F will be approximately :
- Main 2021PhysicsSingle correct
Four identical particles of equal masses 1 kg made to move along the circumference of a circle of radius 1 m under the action of their own mutual gravitational attraction. The speed of each particle will be :

A large spherical mass is fixed at one position and two identical point masses are kept on a line passing through the centre of (see figure). The point masses are connected by a rigid massless rod of length and this assembly is free to move along the line connecting them. All three masses interact only through their mutual gravitational interaction. When the point mass nearer to is at a distance from , the tension in the rod is zero for . The value of is

From a sphere of mass M and radius R, a smaller sphere of radius is carved out such that the cavity made in the original sphere is between its centre and the periphery. (See figure). For the configuration in the figure where the distance between the centre of the original sphere and the removed sphere is 3R, the gravitational force between the two spheres is :
