The relative uncertainty in the period of a satellite orbiting around the Earth is $10^{-2}$. If the relative uncertainty in the radius of the orbit is negligible,the relative uncertainty in the mass of the Earth is:

  • A
    $3 \times 10^{-2}$
  • B
    $10^{-2}$
  • C
    $2 \times 10^{-2}$
  • D
    $6 \times 10^{-2}$

$A$ spacecraft travels in a straight line from the Earth to the Moon. How will its weight change during this journey?

If two bodies $A$ and $B$ of equal masses $M$ are situated in air at a distance $d$ and the gravitational force between them is $F$. Now,$50 \%$ of the mass is transferred from body $A$ to $B$ and the distance between them is reduced to $\frac{d}{2}$. If the space around them is now filled with a liquid of specific density $3$,what will be the new gravitational force?

$A$ hemispherical shell of mass $2M$ and radius $6R$ and a point mass $M$ are performing circular motion due to their mutual gravitational interaction. Their positions are shown in the figure at any moment of time during motion. If $r_1$ and $r_2$ are the radii of the circular paths of the hemispherical shell and the point mass respectively,and $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are the angular speeds of the hemispherical shell and the point mass respectively,then choose the correct option.

$A$ mass $m$,travelling at speed $V_0$ in a straight line from far away,is deflected when it passes near a black hole of mass $M$ which is at a perpendicular distance $R$ from the original line of flight. $a$,the distance of closest approach between the mass and the black hole,is given by the relation:

$A$ spiral galaxy can be approximated as an infinitesimally thin disc of uniform surface mass density located at $z=0$. Two stars $A$ and $B$ start from rest from heights $2z_{0}$ and $z_{0}$ (where $z_{0} \ll$ radial extent of the disc),respectively,and fall towards the disc,cross over to the other side,and execute periodic oscillations. The ratio of the time periods of $A$ and $B$ is
