The mass density of a spherical body is given by
$$\rho $$ (r) = $${k \over r}$$ for r $$ \le $$ R and $$\rho $$ (r) = 0 for r > R,

where r is the distance from the centre.

The correct graph that describes qualitatively the acceleration, a, of a test particle as a function of r is :

If the Earth has no rotational motion, the weight of a person on the equator is W. Determine the speed with which the earth would have to rotate about its axis so that the person at the equator will weigh $${3 \over 4}$$ W. Radius of the Earth is 6400 km and g=10 m/s².

The variation of acceleration due to gravity $$g$$ with distance d from centre of the earth is best represented by (R = Earth’s radius):

Figure shows elliptical path abcd of a planet around the sun S such that the area of triangle csa is $${1 \over 4}$$ the area of the ellipse. (See figure) With db as the semimajor axis, and ca as the semiminor axis. If t₁ is the time taken for planet to go over path abc and t₂ for path taken over cda then :
