Q.

A solid sphere of uniform density and radius R applies a gravitational force of attraction F1 on a particle placed at a distance 2R from the centre of the sphere. A spherical cavity of radius (R/2) is now made in the sphere as shown in Figure. The sphere with cavity now applies a gravitational force F2 on the same particle. The ratio F2/F1 is:

Detailed Solution

F1=GMm2R2=x4---(1) ,whereGMmR2=x F'=GM'm32R2=GM/8m9/4R2=x18 (as M is the mass of the cavity) Thus F2=F1F'=x4x18=7x36---(2) from (1) and (2) we get  or F2F1=7x36×4x=79
