EASY
Knowing that mass of the moon is M81, find the distance of the point from the moon, where gravitational field due to earth and the moon cancel each other. Given that distance between earth and moon =60 R , Radius of earth=R, Mass of Earth=M.

The gravitational force between the sun and Jupiter is approximately 4×1023 N. If mass of sun 1.99×1030 kg, the mean distance of the Jupiter from the sun is d=7.8×1011 m, find the mass of jupiter. 
MEDIUM
How does the force of attraction between the two bodies depend upon their masses and distance between them? Rahul, a class IX student, thought that two bricks tied together would fall faster than a single one under the action of gravity. Do you agree with this hypothesis or not? Give a reason for your answer.
MEDIUM
If the force of the earth on the moon vanishes suddenly, what will be the path of the moon? Give reasons.
EASY
The gravitational force of attraction between two point masses is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the distance between them.
MEDIUM
Two point masses of 4 kg and 2 kg kept at a distance of 1 m in air attract each other by a force F. These two masses are now dipped in kerosene keeping the distance same. What is the force of attraction between the masses in kerosene? 
EASY
Name the force which is responsible for the revolution of moon around the earth.
