Let 'M' be total mass of earth.
Consider a shell of thickness 'dr' and mass 'dm' at a distance 'r' from centre inside earth,

dm=ρ4πr2dr

M=dm=0R4πkr3dr=4πkR44=πkR4

Let field due to earth’s gravity at a distance '2R' from centre be T,I×A=4πGminside

I×4π2R2=4πGπkR4I=πkR4G4R2


For a satellite of mass 'm' moving in orbit or '2R' radius.

mI=mv22RI=V22RπkR2G4=V22R

V=πkR3G2
