Two spheres of masses \(m\) and \(M\) are situated in air and the gravitational force between them is \(F.\) If the space around the masses is filled with a liquid of specific density \(3,\) the gravitational force will become:
1. \(3F\)
2. \(F\)
3. \(F/3\)
4. \(F/9\)
For moon, its mass is \(\frac{1}{81}\) of Earth's mass and its diameter is \(\frac{1}{3.7}\) of Earth's diameter. If acceleration due to gravity at Earth's surface is \(9.8~\text{m/s}^2,\) then at the moon, its value is:

Rohini satellite is at a height of \(500\) km and Insat-B is at a height of \(3600\) km from the surface of the earth. The relation between their orbital velocity (\(v_R,~v_i\)) is:
1. \(v_R>v_i\)
2. \(v_R<v_i\)
3. \(v_R=v_i\)
4. no specific relation
The density of a newly discovered planet is twice that of Earth. If the acceleration due to gravity on its surface is the same as that on Earth, and the radius of Earth is \(R,\) what will be the radius of the new planet?

A satellite is revolving in a circular orbit at a height \(h\) from the earth's surface (radius of earth \(R\); \(h<<R\)). The minimum increase in its orbital velocity required, so that the satellite could escape from the earth's gravitational field is close to: (Neglect the effect of the atmosphere.)

The initial velocity \(v_i\) required to project a body vertically upwards from the surface of the earth to just reach a height of \(10R\), where \(R\) is the radius of the earth, described in terms of escape velocity \(v_e\) is:
