The mass of a spaceship is 1000 kg. It is to be launched from the earth’s surface out into free space. The value of ‘g’ and ‘R’ (radius of earth) are 10 m/s2 and 6400 km respectively. The required energy for this work will be

Two bodies of masses m and 4m are placed at a distance r. The gravitational potential at a point on the line joining them where the gravitational field is zero is

A planet of radius R = 1/10 x (radius of Earth) has the same 10 mass density as Earth. Scientists dig a well of depth R/5 on it and lower a wire of the same length and of linear mass density 10^-3 kg m^-1 into it. If the wire is not touching anywhere, the force applied at the top of the wire by a person holding it in place is (Take the radius of Earth = 6×10^6 m and the acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 10 ms^-2 )
