Six objects are placed at the vertices of a regular hexagon. The geometric centre of the hexagon is at the origin with objects $1$ and $4$ on the $X$-axis (see figure). The mass of the $k$-th object is $m_k = k^i M |\cos \theta_k|$, where $i$ is an integer, $M$ is a constant with the dimension of mass, and $\theta_k$ is the angular position of the $k$-th vertex measured from the positive $X$-axis in the counter-clockwise sense. If the net gravitational force on a body at the centroid vanishes, the value of $i$ is

In a gravitational field,the gravitational potential is given by $V = -\frac{K}{x} \ (J/kg)$. The gravitational field intensity at point $(2, 0, 3) \ m$ is

If the value of gravitational intensity at a point is $0.7\, N/kg$,what will be the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on an object of mass $5\, kg$ at that point (in $, N$)?
