A box weight 196 N on a spring balance at the north pole. Its weight recorded on the same balance if it is shifted to the equator is close to (Take g = 10 ms^–2 at the north pole and the radius of the earth = 6400 km) :

A satellite of mass m is launched vertically upwards with an initial speed u from the surface of the earth. After it reaches height R (R = radius of the earth), it ejects a rocket of mass $${m \over {10}}$$ so that subsequently the satellite moves in a circular orbit. The kinetic energy of the rocket is (G is the gravitational constant; M is the mass of the earth) :

The ratio of the weights of a body on the Earth’s surface to that on the surface of a planets is 9 : 4. The mass of the planet is $${1 \over 9}$$ th of that of the Earth. If 'R' is the radius of the Earth, what is the radius of the planet ? (Take the planets to have the same mass density)

A spaceship orbits around a planet at a height of 20 km from its surface. Assuming that only gravitational field of the planet acts on the spaceship, what will be the number of complete revolutions made by the spaceship in 24 hours around the planet?

[Given ; Mass of planet = 8 × 10²² kg, Radius of planet = 2 × 10⁶ m, Gravitational constant G = 6.67 × 10^–11 Nm² /kg²]
