Three particles of mass $1 \, kg$ each are placed at $(0, 0)$,$(0, 0.2 \, m)$,and $(0.2 \, m, 0)$. What is the net gravitational force on the particle placed at the origin?

  • A
    $1.67 \times 10^{-9} (\hat{i} + \hat{j}) \, N$
  • B
    $3.34 \times 10^{-10} (\hat{i} + \hat{j}) \, N$
  • C
    $1.67 \times 10^{-9} (\hat{i} - \hat{j}) \, N$
  • D
    $3.34 \times 10^{-9} (\hat{i} + \hat{j}) \, N$

$A$ small point mass $m$ is placed at a distance $2R$ from the centre $O$ of a big uniform solid sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$. The gravitational force on $m$ due to $M$ is $F_1$. $A$ spherical part of radius $R/3$ is removed from the big sphere as shown in the figure and the gravitational force on $m$ due to the remaining part of $M$ is found to be $F_2$. The value of the ratio $F_1: F_2$ is
