If acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth is 10 ms2 and let acceleration due to gravitational acceleration at surface of another planet of our solar system be 5 ms2. An astronaut weighing 50 kg on earth goes to this planet in a spaceship with a constant velocity. The weight of the astronaut with time of flight is roughly given by,

A spherical hollow cavity is made in a lead sphere of radius R, such that its surface touches the outside surface of the lead sphere and passes through its centre. The mass of the sphere before hollowing was M. With what gravitational force will the hollowed-out lead sphere attract a small sphere of mass m, which lies at a distance d from the centre of the lead sphere on the straight line connecting the centres of the spheres and that of the hollow, if d=2R

The gravitational potential of two homogeneous spherical shells A and B (separated by large distance) of same surface mass density at their respective centres are in the ratio 3 : 4. If the two shells coalesce into single one such that surface mass density remains same, then the ratio of potential at an internal point of the new shell to shell A is equal to :
