Q.

 A planet of radius R = (1/10) (radius of Earth) has the same mass density as earth. Scientists dig a well of depth R/5 on it and lower a wire of the same length and of linear mass density 103kg/m into it. If the wire is not touching anywhere, the force applied at the top of the wire by a person holding it in place is:
(Take the radius of Earth =6×106m and the acceleration due to gravity of Earth is  10m/s2 )
