A uniform solid sphere of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) has a thin uniform ring of mass \(\dfrac{5M}{3}\) and radius \(\dfrac{4R}{3}\) around it. The two objects have a common centre \(O,\) and the axis of the ring \((PP')\) lies along a diameter of the sphere. Physical quantities associated with this system are mentioned in Column-I and their values in Column-II, but in a different order. Match them. Gravitational field is measured in units of \((GM/R^2),\) potential in units of \(\left(-\dfrac{GM}{R}\right)\) while potential energy is in units of \((-GM^2/R)\)

The gravitational potential energy of a particle of mass \(m\) increases by \(mgh,\) when it is raised through a height \(h\) in a uniform gravitational field "\(g\)". If a particle of mass \(m\) is raised through a height \(h\) in the earth's gravitational field (\(g\): the field on the earth's surface) and the increase in gravitational potential energy is \(U\), then:
| 1. | \(U > mgh\) |
| 2. | \(U < mgh\) |
| 3. | \(U = mgh\) |
| 4. | any of the above may be true depending on the value of \(h,\) considered relative to the radius of the earth. |
