Question
How is the gravitational force between two point masses affected when they are dipped in water keeping the separation between them the same?
✓

Answer

The Newton’s Universal law of gravitational force of attraction (F) between two bodies of masses $\mathrm{m}_1, \mathrm{~m}_2$ separated by distance r is $\text{F}=\frac{\text{Gm}_1\text{m}_2}{\text{r}^2}$ G does not depend upon the medium. So force of attraction does not change if the masses are kept in water or any other medium.

A copper sphere is suspended in an evacuated chamber maintained at 300K. The sphere is maintained at a constant temperature of 500K by heating it electrically. A total of 210W of electric power is needed to do it. When the surface of the copper sphere is completely blackened, 700W is needed to maintain the same temperature of the sphere.
