Write the formula to find the magnitude of the gravitational force between the earth and an object on the surface of the earth.
Derive an expression for the gravitational field due to a uniform rod of length L and mass M at a point on its perpendicular bisector at a distance d from the centre.
A uniform metal sphere of radius a and mass M is surrounded by a thin uniform spherical shell of equal mass and radius 4a (In the following figure). The centre of the shell falls on the surface of the inner sphere. Find the gravitational field at the points P1 and P2 shown in the figure.

The gravitational field in a region is given by \[E = \left( 2 \overrightarrow{i} + 3 \overrightarrow{j} \right) N {kg}^{- 1}\] . Show that no work is done by the gravitational field when a particle is moved on the line 3y + 2x = 5.
[Hint : If a line y = mx + c makes angle θ with the X-axis, m = tan θ.]
Where will you weigh more: at the moon's surface or at the earth's surface?
Does the force of the earth's gravitation affect the motion of the moon? Explain your answer with reasons.
State Newton's law of gravitation. What is the difference between:
g and G?
If the law of gravitation, instead of being inverse-square law, becomes an inverse-cube law- ______.
- planets will not have elliptic orbits.
- circular orbits of planets is not possible.
- projectile motion of a stone thrown by hand on the surface of the earth will be approximately parabolic.
- there will be no gravitational force inside a spherical shell of uniform density.
We can shield a charge from electric fields by putting it inside a hollow conductor. Can we shield a body from the gravitational influence of nearby matter by putting it inside a hollow sphere or by some other means?
Newton's universal law of gravitation applies to ______.
