A thin sphereical shell having uniform density is cut in two parts by as plane and kept separated as shown in figure. The point A is the center of the plane section of the first part and B is the center of the plane section of the second part. Show that the gravitational field at A due to the first part is equal in magnitude to the gravitational field at B due to the second part.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

We know in the thin sphereical shell of uniform density has gravitatioiN/Asl field at its interN/Al point is zero at A and B points, field is equal and opposite and canel each other. So Net field is zero.
Hence, EA=EB`
