Two small spherical bodies ' a ' & ' b ' of mass m and radius ' r ' kept in contact. Both spherical body move along a circular orbit around the planet of mass M. They are kept in contact in such a way that the centers of the two bodies and the center of planet M always lies on the same line. Also, the point of contact of the two bodies is at a distance R from the center of the planet. The density of the blocks is assumed to be equal to the mean density of the planet. Assume R o ​ ≫ r :- E	extbackslash P-
