The correct Answer is:
To find the gravitational force between two uniform solid spheres of the same material and radius that are touching each other, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Setup We have two uniform solid spheres, each with radius \( r \) and density \( \rho \). They are touching each other. ### Step 2: Determine the Mass of Each Sphere The mass \( m \) of each sphere can be calculated using the formula for mass: \[ m = \text{density} \times \text{volume} \] The volume \( V \) of a sphere is given by: \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \] Thus, the mass of each sphere is: \[ m = \rho \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Distance Between the Centers Since the spheres are touching each other, the distance \( d \) between their centers is: \[ d = 2r \] ### Step 4: Apply Newton's Law of Gravitation According to Newton's law of gravitation, the gravitational force \( F \) between two masses \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) separated by a distance \( d \) is given by: \[ F = G \frac{m_1 m_2}{d^2} \] In our case, both spheres have the same mass \( m \), so we can write: \[ F = G \frac{m \cdot m}{(2r)^2} \] ### Step 5: Substitute the Mass and Distance Substituting the mass \( m \) and the distance \( d \): \[ F = G \frac{\left(\rho \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\right) \left(\rho \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\right)}{(2r)^2} \] This simplifies to: \[ F = G \frac{\left(\rho^2 \left(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\right)^2\right)}{4r^2} \] ### Step 6: Simplify the Expression Now, we simplify the expression: \[ F = G \frac{\rho^2 \left(\frac{16}{9} \pi^2 r^6\right)}{4r^2} \] \[ F = G \frac{16 \rho^2 \pi^2 r^6}{36 r^2} \] \[ F = \frac{4}{9} G \pi^2 \rho^2 r^4 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the gravitational force \( F \) between the two spheres is given by: \[ F = \frac{4}{9} G \pi^2 \rho^2 r^4 \]
