Two uniform soild spheres of equal radii...

Two uniform soild spheres of equal radii `R` but mass `M` and `4M` have a centre to centre separation `6 R`, as shows in Fig. (a) The two spheres are held fixed. A projectile of mass` m` is projected from the surface of the sphere of mass `M` directly towards the centre of teh second. Obtain an expression for the minimum speed `upsilon` of the projectile so that it reaches the surface of second sphere.

Two uniform solid spheres of equal radii R, but mass M and 4 M have a center to centre separation 6 R, as shown in figure. The two spheres are held fixed. A projectile of mass m is projected from the surface of the sphere of mass M directly towards the centre of the second sphere. Obtain an expression for the minimum speed v of the projectile so that it reaches the surface of the second sphere.

Suppose two planets (spherical in shape) of radii R and 2R, but mass M and 9 M respectively have a centre to centre separation 8 R as shown in the figure. A satellite of mass 'm' is projected from the surface of the planet of mass 'M' directly towards the centre of the second planet. The minimum speed 'v' required for the satellite to reach the surface of the second planet is sqrt((a)/(7) (GM)/(R )) then the value of 'a' is ________. [Given : The two planets are fixed in their position]
