Three identical particles $A, B$,and $C$ of mass $100 \, kg$ each are placed in a straight line with $AB = BC = 13 \, m$. The gravitational force on a fourth particle $P$ of the same mass is $F$,when placed at a distance $13 \, m$ from the particle $B$ on the perpendicular bisector of the line $AC$. The value of $F$ will be approximately $....G$.

Consider a spherical gaseous cloud of mass density $\rho(r)$ in free space,where $r$ is the radial distance from its center. The gaseous cloud is made of particles of equal mass $m$ moving in circular orbits about the common center with the same kinetic energy $K$. The force acting on the particles is their mutual gravitational force. If $\rho(r)$ is constant in time,the particle number density $n(r) = \rho(r) / m$ is:
