Detailed Solution

The density inside a solid sphere of radius a is given by rho=rho_(0)(1-r/a),  where rho_(0) is the density at the surface and r denotes the distance from the  centre. Find the gravitational

Volume of small strip dV=4πr2dr

Mass of this strip dm=(ρ)(dV)

                               =p0er4πr2dr=4πap0(rdr)

 Mass of whole sphere =0a4πaρ0rdr

     m=2πa3ρ0

     E=Gm(2a)2=G2πa3p04a2   

       =πGρ0a2
