A spaceship is sent to investigate a planet of mass `M` and radius `R`. While hanging motionless in space at a distance `5R` from the centre of the planet, the spaceship fires an instrument package of mass `m`, which is much smaller than the mass of the spaceship. For what angle `theta` will the package just graze the surface of the planet?
