How does the weight of an object vary with respect to the mass and radius of the Earth? In a hypothetical case,if the diameter of the Earth becomes half of its present value and its mass becomes four times its present value,then how would the weight of any object on the surface of the Earth be affected?

The acceleration due to gravity at the moon's surface is $1.67 \, m s^{-2}$. If the radius of the moon is $1.74 \times 10^{6} \, m$,calculate the mass of the moon. (Use $G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \, N m^{2} kg^{-2}$)

State the source of centripetal force that our earth requires to revolve around the sun. List the factors on which this force depends.

List in tabular form any three differences between $g$ and $G$.

An object has a mass of $30 \ kg$. What is its weight $(i)$ on the moon $(ii)$ on another planet? The value of $g$ on the moon is $1/6$ the value of $g$ on the earth. The value of $g$ on the planet is $3$ times the value of $g$ on the earth. Take $g_{earth} = 10 \ m/s^2$.
