The weight of a body at the surface of earth is 18 N. The weight of the body at an altitude of 3200 km above the earth's surface is (given, radius of earth $$\mathrm{R_e=6400~km}$$) :
An object of mass $$1 \mathrm{~kg}$$ is taken to a height from the surface of earth which is equal to three times the radius of earth. The gain in potential energy of the object will be [If, $$\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}$$ and radius of earth $$=6400 \mathrm{~km}$$ ]
If the radius of earth shrinks by $$2 \%$$ while its mass remains same. The acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface will approximately :
A body of mass $$\mathrm{m}$$ is projected with velocity $$\lambda \,v_{\mathrm{e}}$$ in vertically upward direction from the surface of the earth into space. It is given that $$v_{\mathrm{e}}$$ is escape velocity and $$\lambda<1$$. If air resistance is considered to be negligible, then the maximum height from the centre of earth, to which the body can go, will be :
(R : radius of earth)
