Questions  

Two concentric shells of masses M1 and M2, are . having radii r1, andr2. Which of the following is correct expression for the gravitational field on a mass m? 

a
F=GM1+M2r2,  for r
b
F=GM1+M2r2,  for r
c
F=GM2r2,  for r1
d
F=G2r2,  for r1

detailed solution

Correct option is D

We know that the gravitational field in aside a shell is zero but for points outside it, the shell behaves as if whole of its mass is concentrated at its centre. When a point lies in between the shells r1
