A planet of radius R=110×(radiusofEarth) has the same mass density as Earth. Scientists dig a well of depth R5 on it and lower a wire of the same length and of linear mass density 10−3kgm−1 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 10−2)
