Two masses $90 \ kg$ and $160 \ kg$ are separated by a distance of $5 \ m$. The magnitude of the intensity of the gravitational field at a point which is at a distance $3 \ m$ from the $90 \ kg$ mass and $4 \ m$ from the $160 \ kg$ mass is (Universal gravitational constant,$G=6.67 \times 10^{-11} \ N \ m^2 \ kg^{-2}$)

The gravitational field in a region is given by $\vec{E} = (5\,N/kg)\,\hat{i} + (12\,N/kg)\,\hat{j}$. If the potential at the origin is taken to be zero,then the ratio of the potential at the points $(12\,m, 0)$ and $(0, 5\,m)$ is:

The gravitational potential versus distance $r$ graph is represented in the figure. The magnitude of the gravitational field intensity is equal to....... $N/kg$.

$A$ uniform solid sphere of mass $m$ and radius $r$ is surrounded by a uniform thin spherical shell of radius $2r$ and mass $m$. Then the gravitational field:

$A$ spherical shell is cut into two pieces along a plane as shown in the figure. $P$ is a point on the plane of the cut. The gravitational field at $P$ due to the upper part is $I_1$ and that due to the lower part is $I_2$. What is the relation between them?
