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.

$A$ satellite of mass $m$ is at a distance of $a$ from a star of mass $M$. The speed of the satellite is $u$. Suppose the law of universal gravity is $F = -G \frac{Mm}{r^{2.1}}$ instead of $F = -G \frac{Mm}{r^2}$. Find the speed of the satellite when it is at a distance $b$ from the star.

$A$ spherically symmetric gravitational system of particles has a mass density $\rho = \begin{cases} \rho_0 & \text{for } r \leq R \\ 0 & \text{for } r > R \end{cases}$ where $\rho_0$ is a constant. $A$ test mass can undergo circular motion under the influence of the gravitational field of particles. Its speed $V$ as a function of distance $r$ $(0 < r < \infty)$ from the centre of the system is represented by:

Two point masses of mass $4m$ and $m$ respectively,separated by a distance $d$,are revolving under their mutual force of attraction. The ratio of their kinetic energies is:
