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,$G=6.67 \times 10^{-11} \ N \ m^2 \ kg^{-2}$)

$A$ uniform sphere has radius $R$ and mass $M$. The magnitude of the gravitational field at distances $r_1$ and $r_2$ from the centre of the sphere are $E_1$ and $E_2$ respectively. The ratio $E_1: E_2$ is ($r_1 > R$ and $r_2 < R$).
