Chapter: Gravitation

1. A sphere of mass 40kg is attracted by a second sphere of mass 15kg when their centers are
20 cm apart, with a force of 0.1 milligram weight. Calculate the value of gravitational
constant.
2. A body of mass 1 kg is placed at a distance of 2m from another body of mass 10kg. At
what distance from the body of 1 kg, another body of mass 5 kg be placed so that the net
force of gravitation acting on the body of mass 1 kg is zero?
3. A geostationary satellite is orbiting the earth at a height 5 R above the surface of earth,
where R is the radius of earth. Find the time period of another satellite at a height of 2 R
from the surface of earth.
4. The distance of planet Jupiter from the sun 5.2 times that of Earth. Find the period of
revolution of Jupiter around sun.
5. If the distance of Earth from the Sun were half the present value, how many days will make
one year?
6. Two satellites of a planet have periods 32 days and 256 days. If the radius of orbit of former
is R, find the orbital radius of the latter.
7. The mass of Earth is 6 x 1024 kg and that of moon is 7.4 x 1022 kg. If the distance between
the Earth and the Moon is 3.84 x 105 km, calculate the force exerted by Earth on the Moon.
Given G = 6.7 x 10–11 Nm2/kg2.
8. If the distance between two masses is increased by a factor of 4, by what factor would the
mass of one of them have to be altered to maintain the same gravitational force?
9. Two bodies A and B having masses 2kg and 4kg respectively are separated by 2m. Where
should a body of mass 1kg be placed so that the gravitational force on this body due to
bodies A and B is zero?
10. The mass of Sun is 2 x 1030 kg and mass of Earth is 6 x 1024 kg. If the distance between
the centers of Sun and Earth is 1.5 x 108 km, calculate the force of gravitation between
them.

12. The gravitational force between force two objects is 100 N. How should the distance
between these objects be changed so that force between them becomes 50 N?
13. Calculate the force of gravitation between two objects of masses 80kg and 1200 kg kept at
a distance of 10 m from each other. Given G = 6.67 x 10–11 Nm2/kg2.
14. A particle is thrown up vertically with a velocity of 50m/s. What will be its velocity at the
highest point of the journey? How high would the particle rise? What time would it take to
reach the highest point? Take g = 10 m/s2.
15. If a planet existed whose mass was twice that of Earth and whose radius 3 times greater,
how much will a 1kg mass weigh on the planet?
16. A boy on cliff 49m high drops a stone. One second later, he throws a second stone after the
first. They both hit the ground at the same time. With what speed did he throw the second
stone?
17. A stone drops from the edge of a roof. It passes a window 2m high in 0.1s. How far is the
roof above the top of the window?

(a) How long does it take to fall 4.9m ?
(b) How fast does it move at the end of that fall?
(c) How fast does it move at the end of 7.9m?
(d) What is its acceleration after 1s and after 2s?
19. A cube of edge length 10 cm is placed inside a liquid. The pressure at the centre of the face
is 15 Pa. Find the force exerted by the liquid on this face.
20. A force of 16 N is distributed uniformly on one surface of a cube of edge 8 cm. Find the
pressure on this surface.
21. How much force should be applied on an area of 1 cm2 to get a pressure of 15 Pa?

table. Find the pressure on the portion of the table where the block is kept.
23. The pressure due to atmosphere is 1.013 x 105 Pa. Find the force exerted by the atmosphere
on the top surface of a table 2.0 m long and 1.0 m wide.
24. Find the thrust acting on the human body due to atmospheric pressure. Take the surface
area of a man of middle size to be 1.5 m2 and atmospheric pressure (1 atm) = 1.013 x 105
Pa.
25. A hydraulic automobile lift is designed to lift cars with a maximum mass of 3000 kg. The
area of the piston carrying the load is 425 cm2. What maximum pressure would the smaller
piston have to bear?
26. A block of wood is kept on a table top. The mass of the wooden block is 5 kg and its
dimension are 40 cm x 20 cm x 10 cm. Find the pressure exerted by the wooden block on
the table top if it is made to lie on the table with its sides of dimensions
