A solid sphere of uniform density and radius 4 units is located with its centre at the origin O of coordinates. Two sphere of equal radii 1 unit, with their centres at A(-2,0 ,0) and B(2,0,0) respectively, are taken out of the solid leaving behind spherical cavities as shown if fig Then:

A

`(31GM)/1024`

B

`(Gm)/1024`

C

`31GM`

D

zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Let `rho=` density of sphere `R=`radius of sphere, `r=`radius of the spherical cavities.
Mass of the complete sphere `=4/3piR^(3)rho=M`
Mass of the removed sphere `=4/3pir^(3)rho=m`
Here `m=(Mr^(3))/(R^(3))=(M(1)^(3))/((4)^(3))=M/64`
Now `vecI_(r)=vecI+vecI_(P)+vecI_(Q)`
Here `I=0, also vecI_(P)=-vecI_(Q)impliesI_(R)=0`
