Two identical heavy spheres are separated by a distance $10$ times their radius. Will an object placed at the mid-point of the line joining their centres be in stable equilibrium or unstable equilibrium? Give reason for your answer.

The net gravitational force at the centre of a square is found to be $F_{1}$ when four particles having masses $M, 2M, 3M,$ and $4M$ are placed at the four corners of the square as shown in the figure. It is $F_{2}$ when the positions of $3M$ and $4M$ are interchanged. The ratio $\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}$ is $\frac{\alpha}{\sqrt{5}}$. The value of $\alpha$ is . . . . . . .

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:
