The magnitudes of the gravitational force at distances r₁ and r₂ from the centre of a uniform sphere of radius R and mass M are F₁ and F₂, respectively. Then

Moderate

A

$\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}} = \frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}} if r_{1} < R and r_{2} < R$
B

$\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}} = \frac{r_{2}^{2}}{r_{1}^{2}} if r_{1} > R and r_{2} > R$
C

$\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}} = \frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}} if r_{1} > R and r_{2} > R$
D

$\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}} = \frac{r_{2}^{2}}{r_{1}^{2}} if r_{1} < R and r_{2} < R$

Solution

$\begin{array}{l} g = \frac{4}{3} πρGr ∴ g \propto r if r > R \\ g = \frac{GM}{r^{2}} ∴ g \propto \frac{1}{r^{2}} if r > R \end{array}$
$If r_{1} < R and r_{2} < R, then \frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}} = \frac{g_{1}}{g_{2}} = \frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}$
${If r}_{1} > R and r_{2} > R, then \frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}} = \frac{g_{1}}{g_{2}} = {(\frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}})}^{2}$
