Two heavy spheres each of mass $100 \; kg$ and radius $0.10 \; m$ are placed $1.0 \; m$ apart on a horizontal table. What is the gravitational force and potential at the mid-point of the line joining the centres of the spheres? Is an object placed at that point in equilibrium? If so,is the equilibrium stable or unstable?

In some region,the gravitational field is zero. The gravitational potential in this region

From a solid sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$,a spherical portion of radius $R/2$ is removed,as shown in the figure. Taking gravitational potential $V = 0$ at $r = \infty$,the potential at the centre of the cavity thus formed is
($G =$ gravitational constant)

Compare the gravitational potential at the center $O$ for the given arcs,each having mass $M$ and radius $R$.

$A$ person brings a mass of $1 \ kg$ from infinity to a point $A.$ Initially,the mass was at rest but it moves at a speed of $3 \ m/s$ as it reaches $A.$ The work done by the person on the mass is $-5.5 \ J.$ The gravitational potential at $A$ is $:$ (in $J/kg$)
