$A$ body projected vertically from the earth reaches a height equal to earth's radius before returning to the earth. The power exerted by the gravitational force is greatest

$A$ binary star system consists of two stars $A$ (mass $M_A = 2.2 M_S$) and $B$ (mass $M_B = 11 M_S$),where $M_S$ is the mass of the Sun. They are separated by a distance $d$ and rotate about their common centre of mass,which is stationary. What is the ratio of the angular momentum of star $A$ to the angular momentum of star $B$ about the centre of mass?

Assume that a tunnel is dug along a chord of the Earth,at a perpendicular distance $(R / 2)$ from the Earth's centre,where $R$ is the radius of the Earth. The wall of the tunnel is frictionless. If a particle is released in this tunnel,it will execute a simple harmonic motion with a time period:

Three identical spheres of mass $m$ are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side length $a$. When released,they interact only through gravitational force and collide after a time $T = 4 \text{ s}$. If the sides of the triangle are increased to length $2a$ and the masses of the spheres are made $2m$,then they will collide after . . . . . . seconds.
