Questions  

Consider two solid spheres of radii R1=1m,R2=2m  and masses M1  and  M2, respectively. The gravitational field due to sphere 1 and 2 are shown. The value of M1M2
  is :

 

a
12
b
23
c
16
d
13

detailed solution

Correct option is C

At surface peak of the graph, g=GMR2​For Sphere 2 field at surface is     3=GM222  −−−−1   For Sphere 1 field at surface is      2=GM112   −−−−2​dividing 2 by 1 we get ∴32=GM24GM1      ​∴32=M24M1    ​⇒ M1M2=16
