In the following four periods:
$(i)$ Time of revolution of a satellite just above the earth's surface $({T_{st}})$
$(ii)$ Period of oscillation of mass inside the tunnel bored along the diameter of the earth $({T_{ma}})$
$(iii)$ Period of simple pendulum having a length equal to the earth's radius in a uniform field of $9.8 \; N/kg \; ({T_{sp}})$
$(iv)$ Period of an infinite length simple pendulum in the earth's real gravitational field $({T_{is}})$

  • A
    ${T_{st}} > {T_{ma}}$
  • B
    ${T_{ma}} > {T_{st}}$
  • C
    ${T_{sp}} < {T_{is}}$
  • D
    ${T_{st}} = {T_{ma}} = {T_{sp}} = {T_{is}}$

$A$ small point mass $m$ is placed at a distance $2R$ from the centre $O$ of a big uniform solid sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$. The gravitational force on $m$ due to $M$ is $F_1$. $A$ spherical part of radius $R/3$ is removed from the big sphere as shown in the figure and the gravitational force on $m$ due to the remaining part of $M$ is found to be $F_2$. The value of the ratio $F_1: F_2$ is

The distance between the Sun and the Earth is $1.6 \times 10^{11} \,m$ and the radius of the Earth is $6.4 \times 10^6 \,m$. The ratio of the angular momentum of the Earth around the Sun to the angular momentum around its own axis is approximately (Assume the Earth as a solid sphere with uniform mass density and that it rotates around the Sun in a circular path.)

$Assertion$ : The length of the day is slowly increasing.
$Reason$ : The dominant effect causing a slowdown in the rotation of the earth is the gravitational pull of other planets in the solar system.

$A$ uniform sphere $A$ with radius $R$ exerts a force $F$ on a small particle $B$ situated at a distance $2R$ from the centre of the sphere. $A$ spherical portion of diameter $R$ is cut from the sphere $A$ as shown in the figure. If $F^{\prime}$ is the new gravitational force between the remaining part of the sphere $A$ and the particle $B$,then find the correct relation between $F$ and $F^{\prime}$.
