Find the gravitational force of attraction between the ring and sphere as shown in the diagram, where the plane of the ring is perpendicular to the line joining the centres. If \(\sqrt{8}\, R\) is the distance between the centres of a \(mng\) (of mass ' \(m\) ) and a sphere (mass ' \(M\) ) where both have equal radius \('R'.\)

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\frac{\sqrt{8}}{27} \cdot \frac{ GmM }{ R ^{2}}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Gravitational field of ring
\(=-\frac{\text { Gmx }}{\left(R^{2}+x^{2}\right)^{3 / 2}}\)
Force between sphere and ring
\(=\frac{\operatorname{GmM}(\sqrt{8} R )}{\left( R ^{2}+8 R ^{2}\right)^{3 / 2}}\)
\(=\frac{ GmM }{ R ^{2}} \times \frac{\sqrt{8}}{27}\)

Assertion (A) : The individual atoms in a ferromagnetic material possess a magnetic dipole moment and interact with one another in such a way that they spontaneously align themselves forming domains.
Reason (R) : At high enough temperature, the domain structure of ferromagnetic material disintegrates. Thus, magnetization will disappear at high enough temperature known as Curie temperature.
