The density of a solid sphere of radius $R$ is $\rho(r) = 20 \frac{r^2}{R^2}$,where $r$ is the distance from its centre. If the gravitational field due to this sphere at a distance $4R$ from its centre is $E$ and $G$ is the gravitational constant,then the ratio of $\frac{E}{GR}$ is

Find the gravitational force of attraction between the ring and the sphere as shown in the diagram. The plane of the ring is perpendicular to the line joining the centres. The distance between the centres of the ring (mass $m$) and the sphere (mass $M$) is $\sqrt{8}R$,where both have an equal radius $R$.

There are two bodies of masses $100 \, kg$ and $10000 \, kg$ separated by a distance of $1 \, m$. At what distance from the smaller body will the intensity of the gravitational field be zero?

The mass density of a solid sphere is $\rho$. The radius of the sphere is $R$. The gravitational field at a distance $r$ from the centre of the sphere inside it is:

Six objects are placed at the vertices of a regular hexagon. The geometric centre of the hexagon is at the origin with objects $1$ and $4$ on the $X$-axis (see figure). The mass of the $k$-th object is $m_k = k^i M |\cos \theta_k|$, where $i$ is an integer, $M$ is a constant with the dimension of mass, and $\theta_k$ is the angular position of the $k$-th vertex measured from the positive $X$-axis in the counter-clockwise sense. If the net gravitational force on a body at the centroid vanishes, the value of $i$ is
