Gravitation Question 106

Question: The magnitudes of the gravitational force at distances [r1] and [r2] from the centre of a uniform sphere of radius R and mass M are [F1] and [F2] respectively. Then[IIT 1994]

Options:

A) [F1F2=r1r2] if [r1<R] and[r2<R]

B) [F1F2=r12r22] if [r1>R] and[r2>R]

C) [F1F2=r1r2] if [r1>R] and[r2>R]

D) [F1F2=r22r12] if [r1<R] and[r2<R]

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[g=43πρGr] \ [gr] if [r<R] [g=GMr2] \ [g1r2] if [r>R] If [r1<R] and [r2<R] then[F1F2=g1g2=r1r2] If [r1>R] and [r2>R] then[F1F2=g1g2=(r2r1)2]
