JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 7. gravitation

A mass of \(50\, {kg}\) is placed at the centre of a uniform spherical shell of mass \(100\, {kg}\) and radius \(50 \,{m}\). If the gravitational potential at a point, \(25\, {m}\) from the centre is \({V} \,{kg} / {m} .\) The value of \({V}\) is

  1. A \(-\,60G\)
  2. B \(+\,2G\)
  3. C \(-\,20G\)
  4. D \(-\,4G\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(-\,4G\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\({V}_{{A}} =\left[-\frac{{GM}_{1}}{{r}}-\frac{{GM}_{2}}{{R}}\right]\) \(=\left[-\frac{50}{25} {G}-\frac{100}{50} {G}\right]\) \(=-4\, {G}\)
