A planet of radius (radius of Earth) has the same mass density as Earth. Scientists dig a well of depth on it and lower a wire of the same length and of linear mass density into it. If the wire is not touching anywhere, the force applied at the top of the wire by a person holding it in place is (take the radius of Earth and the acceleration due to gravity of Earth is )

Consider a spherical gaseous cloud of mass density in free space where is the radial distance from its center. The gaseous cloud is made of particles of equal mass m moving in circular orbits about the common center with the same kinetic energy . The force acting on the particles is their mutual gravitational force. If is constant in time, the particle number density is: [ is universal gravitational constant]
