A body is thrown from the surface of the earth velocity $$\mathrm{v} / \mathrm{s}$$. The maximum height above the earth's surface upto which it will reach is ($$R=$$ radius of earth, $$g=$$ acceleration due to gravity)
Consider a particle of mass $m$ suspended by a string at the equator. Let $R$ and $M$ denote radius and mass of the earth. If $\omega$ is the angular velocity of rotation of the earth about its own axis, then the tension on the string will be $\left(\cos 0^{\circ}=1\right)$
A hole is drilled half way to the centre of the earth. A body weighs 300 N on the surface of the earth. How much will, it weigh at the bottom of the hole?
What is the minimum energy required to launch a satellite of mass ' $m$ ' from the surface of the earth of mass ' $M$ ' and radius ' $R$ ' at an altitude $2 R$ ?
