Consider a solid sphere of density `rho` and radius `4R`. Centre of the sphere is at origin. Two spherical cavities centred at `(2R,0)` and `(-2R,0)` are created in sphere. Radii of both cavities is `R`. In left cavity material of density `2rho` is filled while second cavity is kept empty. What is gravitational field at origin.

A

`(GrhopiR)/(3)`

B

`(2GppiR)/(3)`

C

`(4GrhopiR)/(3)`

D

`(3GrhopiR)/(2)`

Above distribution can be represented as shown in figure. Gravitational field due to sphere of radius R at a distance 3R
`E_(g)=(Grho(4)/(3)piR^(3))/(4R^(2))=(GrhopiR)/(3)`
so net field at center will be `2F_(g)=(2GrhopiR)/(3)`
