The correct variation of gravitational p...

The correct variation of gravitational potential `V` with radius `r` measured from the centre of earth of radius `R` is given by

A

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

As, V = - `(GM)/(2R^(3)) (3R^(2) - r^(2))`
Graph (c) most closely depicts the correct variation of v(r) .
