We can shield a charge from electric fields by putting it inside a hollow conductor. Can we shield a body from the gravitational influence of nearby matter by putting it inside a hollow sphere or by some other means ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`implies` No, we can.t. Because, gravitational force depends on masses of two bodies not on the  shield.

An accelration produces a narrow beam of protons, each having an initial speed of v_(0) . The beam is directed towards an initially uncharges distant metal sphere of radius R and centered at point O.
