  1. 1. The force of attraction between any two masses is:
    • (a) tension
    • (b) magnetism
    • (c) gravitation
    • (d) friction
  2. 2. In F = Gm₁m₂/r², the force is inversely proportional to:
    • (a)
    • (b) m₁
    • (c) G
    • (d) r
  3. 3. The weight of a body is given by:
    • (a) g/m
    • (b) ma only
    • (c) m/g
    • (d) mg
  4. 4. The value of g near the Earth's surface is about:
    • (a) 9.8 m/s²
    • (b) 1.8 m/s²
    • (c) 10.8 m/s²
    • (d) 8.9 m/s²
  5. 5. What is the difference between mass and weight?
  6. 6. State Archimedes' principle.
  7. 7. State the universal law of gravitation and define the gravitational constant G.

  1. 1. (c) gravitationIt is the gravitational force.
  2. 2. (a) It varies inversely with the square of the distance.
  3. 3. (d) mgW = mg.
  4. 4. (a) 9.8 m/s²g ≈ 9.8 m/s².
  5. 5. Mass is the amount of matter (constant); weight is the gravitational force on it (W = mg), which varies with g.
  6. 6. A body immersed in a fluid experiences an upward thrust equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.
  7. 7. Every object attracts every other object with a force F = Gm₁m₂/r², directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. G is the universal gravitational constant — the force between two unit masses placed one unit distance apart — with value about 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg².
