    Prove is the rate of change of angular momentum of the earth about the sun ?

    For what value of the angular velocity of the earth, the acceleration due to gravity in the equatorial region would have been zero ? The average density of the earth's material =5.5 g*cm^(-3) and G=6.67xx10^(-8) CGS unit. Find the ratio of this calculated value and the present value of the angular velocity of the earth.

    The average density of the earth is 5500kg*m^(-3) the gravitational constant is 6.7xx10^(-11)N*m^2*kg^(-2) and the radius of the earth is 6400 km. Using the given values, find the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth.

    What is the relation between the mean density of the earth and G ?

    If T is the period of revolution of an artificial satellite orbiting very close to the earth's surface and rho is the density of the earth, then show that rho T^2 is a universal constant.

    The moon is observed from two diametrically opposite points A and B on Earth. The angle theta subtended at the moon by the two directions of observation is 1^(@)54' . Given the diameter of the Earth to be about 1.276xx10^(7) , compute the distance of the moon from the Earth.
