Question
A sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R_{2}$ has a concentric cavity of radius $R_{1}$ as shown in figure. The force $F$ exerted by the sphere on a particle of mass $m$ located at a distance $r$ from the centre of sphere varies as $(0 \leq r \leq x)$
Step 1
Step 1: The force exerted by the sphere on a particle of mass $m$ located at a distance $r$ from the centre of sphere is given by the gravitational force formula $F = \frac{GmM}{r^2}$, where $G$ is the gravitational constant. Show more…

A uniform solid sphere of mass $m_{1}$ and radius $R_{1}$ is inside and concentric with a spherical shell of mass $m_{2}$ and radius $R_{2}$ (Fig. P14.48). Find the gravitational force exerted by the spheres on a particle of mass $m$ located at (a) $r=a,(\mathrm{~b}) r=b$, and $(\mathrm{c}) r=c$, where $r$ is measured from the center of the spheres.
A sphere of density $\rho$ and radius $a$ has a concentric cavity of radius $b$ as shown in the Fig. $7.13$. Gravitation force $F$ exerted by the sphere on the particle of mass $m$, located at a distance $r$ from the centre of sphere as a function $r$ when $b<r<a$. (A) $F_{r}=0$ (B) $F_{r}=\frac{4}{3} \pi G \rho m\left(\frac{a^{3}-b^{3}}{r^{2}}\right)$ (C) $F_{r}=\frac{4}{3} \pi G \rho m\left(r-\frac{b^{3}}{r^{2}}\right)$ (D) None of these
A spherical mass of radius $r=\frac{K}{2}$ is taken out from a uniform sphere of radius $R$ and mass density $\rho$. The force which this sphere having a cavity will exert on a mass $m$ placed at a distance of $x$ from its centre $x(x>R)$ is: (a) $\frac{4 \pi}{3} \frac{\rho G m R^{3}}{x^{2}}$(b) $\frac{4 \pi}{3} \rho G m R^{3}\left[\frac{1}{x^{2}} \ldots \frac{1}{2(2 x-R)^{2}}\right]$ (c) $\frac{4 G m \rho}{3\left(R^{2}+x^{2}\right)^{3 / 2}}$ (d) none of the above
