Consider a spherical gaseous cloud of mass density ρ(r)ρ\left(r\right) in free space where rr is the radial distance from its center. The gaseous cloud is made of particles of equal mass m moving in circular orbits about the common center with the same kinetic energy KK . The force acting on the particles is their mutual gravitational force. If ρ(r)ρ\left(r\right) is constant in time, the particle number density n(r)=ρ(r)/mn\left(r\right) = ρ\left(r\right) / m is: [ GG is universal gravitational constant]

Options

  1. AKπr2m2G\dfrac{K}{\pi{r}^{2}{m}^{2}G}
  2. B3Kπr2m2G\dfrac{3K}{\pi{r}^{2}{m}^{2}G}
  3. CK6πr2m2G\dfrac{K}{6\pi{r}^{2}{m}^{2}G}
  4. DK2πr2m2G\dfrac{K}{2\pi{r}^{2}{m}^{2}G}

Correct answer

D. K2πr2m2G\dfrac{K}{2\pi{r}^{2}{m}^{2}G}

Step-by-step solution

Given that all the particles of gaseous cloud has mass ‘m’‘m’ and are moving due to mutual attraction with same kinetic energy ‘K’‘K’ .
Now in that cloud, let us consider a sphere of radius ‘r’‘r’ containing a group of particles adding to a total mass ‘M’‘M’ .
Now, another particle of mass ‘m’‘m’ is moving with speed ‘V’‘V’ due to gravitational attraction of M,M, in a circle of radius ‘r’‘r’ .
∴∴ Centripetal force is here given by ‘M’‘M’
⇒GM⋅mr2=mv2r⇒ \dfrac{GM ⋅ m}{{r}^{2}} = \dfrac{m{v}^{2}}{r} ....(1)
But, kinetic energy, K=12mv2K = \dfrac{1}{2}m{v}^{2}
⇒mv2=2K⇒ m{v}^{2} = 2K
Put it in (1)( 1 )
⇒GMmr2=2Kr⇒ \dfrac{GMm}{{r}^{2}} = \dfrac{2K}{r}
⇒M=2KrGm⇒ M = \dfrac{2Kr}{Gm}
Differentiating it we get,
dM=2KGm⋅drdM = \dfrac{2K}{Gm} ⋅ dr .....(2)
Now, if density of cloud is ′{ρ}^{′},
Then elementary mass,
dM=(4πr2dr)⋅ρ=2KGm⋅drdM = \left(4\pi{r}^{2}dr\right) ⋅ ρ = \dfrac{2K}{Gm} ⋅ dr
⇒ρ=K2\piGmr2⇒ ρ = \dfrac{K}{2\piGm{r}^{2}}
