Detailed Solution
For r=5R6,up toR3,ρ=ρ0, between R3and3R4, ρ=ρ02 and between 3R4 and 5R6, ρ=ρ08 ∴ The mass of the sphere of radius 5R/6 ism=43π(R3)3ρ0+[43π(3R4)3−43π(R3)3]ρ0/2 +[43π(5R6)3−43π(3R4)3]ρ0/8 =0.332 πR3ρ0 ∴ Gravitational field at a distance, r=5R6 isEg=Gm(5R/6)2 =G×0.332πR3ρ025R2×36 =0.48πGRρ0
