Take the mean distance of the moon and the sun from the earth to be $$0.4 \times {10^6}$$ km and $$150 \times {10^6}$$ km respectively. Their masses are $$8 \times {10^{22}}$$ kg and $$2 \times {10^{30}}$$ kg respectively. The radius of the earth is $$6400$$ km. Let $$\Delta {F_1}$$ be the difference in the forces exerted by the moon at the nearest and farthest points on the earth and $$\Delta {F_2}$$ be the difference in the force exerted by the sun at the nearest and farthest points on the earth. Then, the number closest to $${{\Delta {F_1}} \over {\Delta {F_2}}}$$ is :

The relative error in the determination of the surface area of sphere is $$\alpha $$. Then the relative error in the determination of its volume is :

An automobile, travelling at $$40\,$$ km/h, can be stopped at a distance of $$40\,$$ m by applying brakes. If the same automobile is travelling at $$80\,$$ km/h, the minimum stopping distance, in metres, is (assume no skidding) :

A body of mass m is moving in a circular orbit of radius R about a planet of mass M. At some instant, it splits into two equal masses. The first mass moves in a circular orbit of radius $${R \over 2},$$ and the other mass, in a circular orbit of radius $${3R \over 2}$$. The difference between the final and initial total energies is :
