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 . . . . . . .

$A$ spherical shell is cut into two pieces along a chord as shown in the figure. $P$ is a point on the plane of the chord. The magnitude of the gravitational field at $P$ due to the upper part is $I_1$ and that due to the lower part is $I_2$. What is the relation between them?
