The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the work done to move a particle of mass \(1 \, \text{kg}\) from a distance of \(4 \, \text{m}\) to \(3\sqrt{3} \, \text{m}\) from the center of a uniform ring of mass \(5 \, \text{kg}\) and radius \(3 \, \text{m}\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Initial and Final Distances**: - Initial distance from the center of the ring, \(x_i = 4 \, \text{m}\) - Final distance from the center of the ring, \(x_f = 3\sqrt{3} \, \text{m}\) 2. **Calculate the Potential Energy**: The gravitational potential \(V\) at a distance \(x\) from the center of a ring of mass \(M\) is given by the formula: \[ V = -\frac{GM}{\sqrt{R^2 + x^2}} \] where \(R\) is the radius of the ring. 3. **Calculate Initial Potential Energy**: For the initial position \(x_i = 4 \, \text{m}\): \[ V_i = -\frac{G \cdot 5}{\sqrt{3^2 + 4^2}} = -\frac{5G}{\sqrt{9 + 16}} = -\frac{5G}{5} = -G \] 4. **Calculate Final Potential Energy**: For the final position \(x_f = 3\sqrt{3} \, \text{m}\): \[ V_f = -\frac{G \cdot 5}{\sqrt{3^2 + (3\sqrt{3})^2}} = -\frac{5G}{\sqrt{9 + 27}} = -\frac{5G}{\sqrt{36}} = -\frac{5G}{6} \] 5. **Calculate Work Done**: The work done \(W\) is equal to the change in potential energy: \[ W = V_f - V_i = \left(-\frac{5G}{6}\right) - \left(-G\right) \] Simplifying this: \[ W = -\frac{5G}{6} + G = -\frac{5G}{6} + \frac{6G}{6} = \frac{G}{6} \] ### Final Answer: The work done to increase the distance of the particle from \(4 \, \text{m}\) to \(3\sqrt{3} \, \text{m}\) is: \[ W = \frac{G}{6} \, \text{J} \]
