Find the gravitational force of attraction between the ring and sphere as shown in the diagram, where the plane of the ring is perpendicular to the line joining the centres. If $$\sqrt 8 $$R is the distance between the centres of a ring (of mass 'm') and a sphere (mass 'M') where both have equal radius 'R'.

A solid sphere of radius R gravitationally attracts a particle placed at 3R from its centre with a force F₁. Now a spherical cavity of radius $$\left( {{R \over 2}} \right)$$ is made in the sphere (as shown in figure) and the force becomes F₂. The value of F₁ : F₂ is

Two satellites A and B of masses 200 kg and 400 kg are revolving round the earth at height of 600 km and 1600 km respectively.

If T_A and T_B are the time periods of A and B respectively then the value of T_B $$-$$ T_A :


[Given : radius of earth = 6400 km, mass of earth = 6 $$\times$$ 10²⁴ kg]
