JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 7. gravitation

Consider two solid spheres of radii \(\mathrm{R}_{1}=1 \;\mathrm{m}\) \(\mathrm{R}_{2}=2\; \mathrm{m}\) and masses \(\mathrm{M}_{1}\) and \(\mathrm{M}_{2},\) respectively. The gravitational field due to sphere \((1)\) and \((2)\) are shown. The value of \(\frac{\mathrm{M}_{1}}{\mathrm{M}_{2}}\) is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2}{3}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{3}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{6}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{1}{6}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Gravitational field on the surface of a solid sphere \(I_{g}=\frac{G M}{R^{2}}\) By the graph \(\frac{\mathrm{GM}_{1}}{(1)^{2}}=2\) and \(\frac{\mathrm{GM}_{2}}{(2)^{2}}=3\) On solving \(\frac{\mathrm{M}_{1}}{\mathrm{M}_{2}}=\frac{1}{6}\)
