Options:
A) $ Gm[ A( \frac{1}{a}-\frac{1}{a+L} )-BL ] $
B) $ Gm[ A( \frac{1}{a+L}-\frac{1}{a} )-BL ] $
C) $ Gm[ A( \frac{1}{a+L}-\frac{1}{a} )+BL ] $
D) $ Gm[ A( \frac{1}{a}-\frac{1}{a+L} )+BL ] $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
- $ dF=\frac{Gm(\mu dx)}{x^{2}} $ $ F=Gm\int\limits _{x=a}^{x=(a+L)}{\frac{(A+Bx^{2})}{x^{2}}}dx $ $ F=Gm( A\int\limits _{x=a}^{x=a+L}{{x^{-2}}dx+}\int\limits _{x=a}^{x=a+L}{B}.dx ) $ $ F=Gm( A[ \frac{-1}{x} ]_a^{a+L}+B[x]_a^{a+L} ) $ $ F=Gm( -A[ \frac{1}{a+L}-\frac{1}{a} ]+B[a+L-a] ) $ $ F=Gm( A[ \frac{1}{a}-\frac{1}{a+L} ]+BL ) $
