To find the ratio of the gravitational field intensities \( I_1 \) and \( I_2 \) at distances \( r_1 \) and \( r_2 \) from the center of a uniform sphere of mass \( M \) and radius \( R \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the formula for gravitational field intensity The gravitational field intensity \( I \) at a distance \( r \) from the center of a uniform sphere (when \( r > R \)) is given by the formula: \[ I = \frac{GM}{r^2} \] where \( G \) is the universal gravitational constant and \( M \) is the mass of the sphere. ...
