SOLUTIONS
1. Control the rotational motion of satellites and planets. Explained in Kepler's law.

2. It is a universal constant.

3. Gravitational force is medium independent

4. By symmetrically all forces will cancel each other and resultant will be zero.

5.

Fnet = √2 F
FG×2m×m 4√2Gm2
= √2 =
(a/√2)2 a2

6. By first law of motion i.e. law of inertia, satellite will fly off tangentially from the orbit with speed
V.

13. There is no atmosphere on the moon, means no buoyant force in upward direction so it will fall

15. g′ = g − ω2 R e cos2 λ
at poles λ = 90°, cos 90° = 0
at equator λ = 0°, cos 0° = 1

19. Mass does not depend upon these factors.

20. g′ = g – R e ω2 cos 2 λ ⇒ at poles λ = 90°

g′ = g

21. The acceleration due to gravity due to rotational effect is given by

g′ = g – Rω2 cos2 λ
When ω increases, the acceleration due to gravity (g′) decreases except poles, therefore weight
of body will decrease except poles.

22. At equator g′ = g – ω2 R e
For the case of g′ = g/2
1 g
ω2 R e = g/2 ⇒ ω = √R

23. g eff = g − ω2 Rcos2 λ ⇒ If λ ↑, cosλ ↓

So g eff ↑⇒ g B > g A

Inside spherical shell, field is zero but potential is same as that of surface and equal to − .

28. Inside hollow sphere potential is same as that of surface.

So, VA = VB = VO

Potential remains constant inside the hollow sphere.

30. Consider earth as a uniform solid sphere, So I = 0 at earth's centre and infinity.
Potential is also minimum at its centre.
