The mass density of a planet of radius $R$ varies with the distance $r$ from its centre as $\rho(r) = \rho_{0} \left(1 - \frac{r^{2}}{R^{2}}\right)$. Then the gravitational field is maximum at:

The mass of the Earth is $81$ times the mass of the Moon and the distance between their centres is $R$. The distance from the centre of the Earth where the gravitational force will be zero is

Infinite number of masses each of $3 \ kg$ are placed along a straight line at the distances of $1 \ m, 2 \ m, 4 \ m, 8 \ m, \ldots$ from a point $O$ on the same line. If $G$ is the universal gravitational constant,then the magnitude of gravitational field intensity at $O$ is (in $G$)
