Three identical point masses, each of mass \(1\) kg lie at three points \((0,0)\), \((0,0.2~\text{m})\), \((0.2~\text{m}, 0)\). The net gravitational force on the mass at the origin is:

Statement I: | The gravitational force exerted by the Sun on the Earth is reduced when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun. |
Statement II: | The gravitational force exerted by the Sun on the Earth is reduced when the Moon is opposite to the Sun, relative to the Earth. |
1. | Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct. |
2. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct. |
3. | Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect. |
4. | Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect. |
Two spherical bodies of masses \(M\) and \(5M\) and radii \(R\) and \(2R\) are released in free space with initial separation between their centres equal to \(12R.\) If they attract each other due to gravitational force only, then the distance covered by the smaller body before the collision is:

3. | \(7.5R\) | 4. | \(1.5R\) |
Two identical hollow spheres of negligible thickness are placed in contact with each other. The force of gravitation between the spheres will be proportional to (\(R\) = radius of each sphere):

4. \(R^3\)
Two identical solid copper spheres of radius \(R\) are placed in contact with each other. The gravitational attraction between them is proportional to:
1. \(R^2\)

4. \(R^{-4}\)
1. | depends on the system of units only. |
2. | depends on the medium between masses only. |
