During the motion of a planet from perihelion to aphelion,the work done by the gravitational force of the sun on it is ...........

The figure shows the variation of the gravitational acceleration $a_g$ of four planets with the radial distance $r$ from the center of the planet for $r \ge R$ (where $R$ is the radius of the planet). Plots $1$ and $2$ coincide for $r \ge R_2$,and plots $3$ and $4$ coincide for $r \ge R_4$. The sequence of the planets in the descending order of their densities is:

The gravitational force acting on a particle,due to a solid sphere of uniform density and radius $R$,at a distance of $3 R$ from the centre of the sphere is $F_1$. $A$ spherical hole of radius $(R / 2)$ is now made in the sphere as shown in the figure. The sphere with hole now exerts a force $F_2$ on the same particle. The ratio of $F_1$ and $F_2$ is

Which one of the following plots represents the variation of gravitational field on a particle with distance $r$ due to a thin spherical shell of radius $R$? ($r$ is measured from the centre of the spherical shell)

$A$ large spherical mass $M$ is fixed at one position and two identical point masses $m$ are kept on a line passing through the centre of $M$ (see figure). The point masses are connected by a rigid massless rod of length $\ell$ and this assembly is free to move along the line connecting them. All three masses interact only through their mutual gravitational interaction. When the point mass nearer to $M$ is at a distance $r = 3\ell$ from $M$,the tension in the rod is zero for $m = k\left(\frac{M}{288}\right)$. The value of $k$ is

As shown in the figure,two spherical cavities are made in a uniform solid sphere of radius $R$. The boundaries of the cavities touch at the centre of the sphere. The centers of the cavities and the sphere lie on the $X$-axis. The mass of the solid sphere before the cavities were created was $M$. The gravitational force on a point mass $m$ at a distance $d$ away from the centre of the solid sphere is
