Two spherical balls of mass 10 kg each are placed 10 cm apart. Find the gravitational force of attraction between them.

उत्तर
The gravitational force of attraction between the balls is given as by
\[F = \frac{G m_1 m_2}{r^2}\]
\[\text { Given } : m_1 = m_2 = 10 kg \text { and } r = 10 cm = 0 . 10 m\]
\[\therefore F = \frac{6 . 67 \times {10}^{- 11} \times 10 \times 10}{\left( 0 . 1 \right)^2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow F = 6 . 67 \times {10}^{- 7} N\]

If you compare the gravitational force on the Earth due to the Sun to that due to the Moon, you would find that the Sun’s pull is greater than the Moon’s pull. (You can check this yourself using the data available in the succeeding exercises). However, the tidal effect of the Moon’s pull is greater than the tidal effect of Sun. Why?
Can two particles be in equilibrium under the action of their mutual gravitational force? Can three particles be? Can one of the three particles be?
Consider a planet moving in an elliptical orbit round the sun. The work done on the planet by the gravitational force of the sun

(d) is zero in no part of the motion.

Two concentric spherical shells have masses M1, M2 and radii R1, R2 (R1 < R2). What is the force exerted by this system on a particle of mass m1 if it is placed at a distance (R1+ R2)/2 from the centre?
A thin spherical shell having uniform density is cut in two parts by a plane and kept separated as shown in the following figure. The point A is the centre of the plane section of the first part and B is the centre of the plane section of the second part. Show that the gravitational field at A due to the first part is equal in magnitude to the gravitational field at B due to the second part.
