The weight of a body on the earth's surface is W. if the radius of the earth becomes double keeping its mass unchanged, what will be the weight of the body ?

The ratio of the mass of the moon to that of the earth is 1:81. If the radius of the moon is assumed to be one-fourth of that of the earth , then what is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon in terms of that on the earth's surface ? Hence, find the escape velocity from the surface of the moon in terms of that from the earth's surface.

A body of mass m is raised from the surface of the earth up to a height equal to the radius R of the earth. If the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface is g , prove that the potential energy of the body has increased by 1/2 mgR.

What is the condition for setting up an artificial satellite at a height h from the earth’s surface? (Radius of the earth = R, mass of the earth= M).

An object of mass m is raised up to a small height h above the earth's surface. If the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface is g, prove that the weight of the object will decreases by (2mgh)/R with respect to that on the earth's surface . R =radius of the earth.

A spherical mass of 20 kg lying on the earth's surface is attracted by another spherical mass of 250 kg with a force equal to the weight of 0.25 mg-wt . The centres of the two masses are 30 cm apart. Calculate the mass of the earth. Radius of earth =6xx10^6 m.
