A planet of radius (radius of Earth) has the same mass density as Earth. Scientists dig a well of depth on it and lower a wire of the same length and of linear mass density into it. If the wire is not touching anywhere, the force applied at the top of the wire by a person holding it in place is (take the radius of Earth and the acceleration due to gravity of Earth is )
Options
- A96 N
- B108 N
- C120 N
- D150 N
Correct answer
B. 108 N
Step-by-step solution
Inside planet
Force to keep the wire at rest (F)
= weight of wire
Here, density of earth
Also, ; putting all values,
