Consider a particle of mass $m$ suspended by a string at the equator. Let $R$ and $M$ denote the radius and mass of the Earth. If $\omega$ is the angular velocity of rotation of the Earth about its own axis,then the tension on the string will be $(\cos 0^{\circ}=1)$

The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is $\frac{1}{6}$ times the acceleration due to gravity on the earth. If the ratio of the density of the earth $\rho_e$ to the density of the moon $\rho_m$ is $\frac{5}{3}$,then the radius of the moon $R_m$ in terms of the radius of the earth $R_e$ is:

The height of any point $P$ above the surface of the Earth is equal to the diameter of the Earth. The value of acceleration due to gravity at point $P$ will be: (Given $g = $ acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the Earth)
