Find the gravitational force of attraction between the ring and sphere as shown in the diagram, where the plane of the ring is perpendicular to the line joining the centres. If is the distance between the centres of a ring (of mass ) and a sphere (mass ) where both have equal radius

In the reported figure of earth, the value of acceleration due to gravity is same at point and but it is smaller than that of its value at point (surface of the earth). The value of will be . The value of is
