Suppose,the acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface is $10 \, m/s^2$ and at the surface of Mars it is $4.0 \, m/s^2$. $A$ $60 \, kg$ passenger goes from the earth to the Mars in a spaceship moving with a constant velocity. Neglect all other objects in the sky. Which part of the figure best represents the weight (net gravitational force) of the passenger as a function of time?

$A$ 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

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?
