8.13 How will you 'weigh the sun', that is estimate its mass? The mean orbital radius of the earth around the sun is 1.5 * 10⁸ km.

The height at which the weight of an object becomes (1/16)^th of its weight on the surface of earth is (R is radius of earth)

In the equation of angular displacement of a particle moving on a circular path is given as is in radian and t in second. Theq angular velocity of the particle at t = 2 s is

If an object is having same weight at same distance above and below the surface of earth, find its distance from surface of earth.

Two bodies of mass $\mathrm{m}$ and $9\mathrm{m}$ are placed at a distance $\mathrm{R}$ . The gravitational potential on the line joining the bodies where the gravitational field equals zero, will be ( $\mathrm{G}=$  gravitational constant):

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.

Assertion A : The escape velocities of planet Ad and B are same. But A and B are of unequal mass.

Reason R : The product of their mass and radius must be same. M₁ R₁ = M₂R₂

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
