$A$ body situated on the surface of the earth becomes weightless at the equator when the rotational kinetic energy of the earth reaches a critical value '$K$'. The value of '$K$' is given by [$g$ = gravitational acceleration on earth's surface,$M$ = mass of the earth,and $R$ = radius of the earth].

As shown in the figure,two spherical cavities are made in a uniform solid sphere of radius $R$. The boundaries of the cavities touch at the centre of the sphere. The centers of the cavities and the sphere lie on the $X$-axis. The mass of the solid sphere before the cavities were created was $M$. The gravitational force on a point mass $m$ at a distance $d$ away from the centre of the solid sphere is

$A$ spiral galaxy can be approximated as an infinitesimally thin disc of uniform surface mass density located at $z=0$. Two stars $A$ and $B$ start from rest from heights $2z_{0}$ and $z_{0}$ (where $z_{0} \ll$ radial extent of the disc),respectively,and fall towards the disc,cross over to the other side,and execute periodic oscillations. The ratio of the time periods of $A$ and $B$ is

$A$ man of mass $m$ starts falling towards a planet of mass $M$ and radius $R.$ As he reaches near to the surface,he realizes that he will pass through a small hole in the planet. As he enters the hole,he sees that the planet is really made of two pieces: a spherical shell of negligible thickness of mass $\frac{2M}{3}$ and a point mass $\frac{M}{3}$ at the centre. The change in the force of gravity experienced by the man is:
