The figure shows the schematic drawing of Cavendish's experiment to determine the value of the gravitational
constant. The bar AB has two small lead spheres attached at its ends. The bar is suspended from a rigid support
by a fine wire. Two large lead spheres are brought close to the small ones but on opposite sides as shown. The
name of G from this experiment came to be
6.67 × 10-11 N-m2/kg2

(a) The big spheres attract the nearby small ones by a force which is

a) equal but in same direction b) equal and opposite

c) equal but in different direction d) unequal and opposite

(b) The net force on the bar is

a) Data insufficient b) zero

c) Data inadequate d) non-zero

(c) The net torque on the bar is

a) non-zero b) Both zero and non-zero

c) zero d) F times the length of the bar, where F is

the force of attraction between a big
sphere and its neighbouring
(d) The torque produces twist in the suspended wire. The twisting stops when

a) restoring torque of the wire b) restoring torque of the wire equals

limit the gravitational torque the gravitational torque

c) restoring torque of the wire exceeds d) The gravitational torque exceeds the
the gravitational torque restoring torque of the wire
(e) After Cavendishis experiment, there have been suggestions that the value of the gravitational constant G
becomes smaller when considered over very large time period (in billions of years) Cure. If that happens,

a) we will become hotter after billions of b) we will be going around but not strictly
years in closed orbits

c) we will become colder after billions of d) nothing will change

years
