JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 7. gravitation

From a sphere of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\), a smaller sphere of radius \(\frac{R}{2}\) is carved out such that the cavity made in the original sphere is between its centre and the periphery (See figure) . For the configuration in the figure where the distance between the centre of the original sphere and the removed sphere is \(3R\), the gravitational force between the two sphere is

  1. A \(\frac{{41G{M^2}}}{{3600{R^2}}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{{41G{M^2}}}{{450{R^2}}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{{59G{M^2}}}{{450{R^2}}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{{G{M^2}}}{{225{R^2}}}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{{41G{M^2}}}{{3600{R^2}}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Volume of removed sphere \({V_{remo}} = \frac{4}{3}\pi {\left( {\frac{R}{2}} \right)^3} = \frac{4}{3}\pi {R^3}\left( {\frac{1}{8}} \right)\) Volume of the sphere (remaining) \({V_{remain}} = \frac{4}{3}\pi {R^3} - \frac{4}{3}\pi {R^3}\left( {\frac{1}{8}} \right)\)…
