Two astronauts have deserted their space ships in a region of space far from the gravitational attraction of any other body. Each has a mass of 100 kg and they are 100 m apart. They are initially at rest relative to one another. How long will it be before the gravitational attraction brings them 1 m close together?

A solid sphere of uniform density and mass M has radius 4 m. Its centre is at the origin of the coordinate system. Two spheres of radii 1 m are taken out so that their centres are at P(0,-2,0) and Q(0,2,0), respectively. This leaves two spherical cavities. What is the gravitational field at the origin of the coordinate axes?
