Two concentric sphereical shels have masses `M_1,M_2 and radii R_1,R_2(R_1+R_2)`. What is the force exerted by this system on a particle of mass `m_1` if it is placed t a distance `(R_1+R_2)/2` from the centre?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, D
The gravitatioN/Al force on m due to the shell of `M_2 is 0`.
m is a distance `(R_1+R_2)/2`
then gravitatioN/Al force due ot M is given by
=(GM_1m)/(((R_1+R_2)/2)^2)=(4GM_1m)/((R_1+R_2)^2)`
