Gravitational field intensity

Question

Assuming the earth to be a uniform sphere of mass M and radium R. which of the following graphs represents the variation of acceleration due to gravity with distance ‘r’ from the centre of the earth.

Easy

A
B
C
D

Solution

Inside the earth g = g_s /R . r
( r ≤ R)
g_s = Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth.
Outside the earth g= g_s . R² / r² (r ≤ R)
.: Option - (2) is correct.
