A thin rod of length '$$L$$' is bent in the form of a circle. Its mass is '$$M$$'. What force will act on mass '$$m$$' placed at the centre of this circle?

( $$\mathrm{G}=$$ constant of gravitation)

A body weighs $$300 \mathrm{~N}$$ on the surface of the earth. How much will it weigh at a distance $$\frac{R}{2}$$ below the surface of earth? ( $$R \rightarrow$$ Radius of earth)

A seconds pendulum is placed in a space laboratory orbiting round the earth at a height '$$3 \mathrm{R}$$' from the earth's surface. The time period of the pendulum will be ( $$R=$$ radius of earth)

A body weighs $$500 \mathrm{~N}$$ on the surface of the earth. At what distance below the surface of the earth it weighs $$250 \mathrm{~N}$$ ? (Radius of earth, $$\mathrm{R}=6400 \mathrm{~km}$$ )
