If the gravitational field in the space is given as (- K r ^ 2 ) ....

If the gravitational field in the space is given as (−Kr2)\left(- \dfrac{K}{{r}^{2}}\right). Taking the reference point to be at r=2cmr = 2cm with gravitational potential V=10Jkg−1V = 10J{kg}^{- 1}. Find the gravitational potentials at r=3cmr = 3cm in SI unit (Given, that K=6Jcmkg−1K = 6Jcm{kg}^{- 1})

Options

  1. A99
  2. B1111
  3. C1212
  4. D1010

Correct answer

B. 1111

Step-by-step solution

Given, E=−Kr2E = - \dfrac{K}{{r}^{2}}

Gravitational field and gravitational potential is related as E=−dVdrE = - \dfrac{d V}{d r}

So, −dVdr=−Kr2- \dfrac{d V}{d r} = \dfrac{- K}{{r}^{2}}

Integrating the above relation,

∫10VdV=∫23Kr2dr{∫}_{10}^{V} d V = {∫}_{2}^{3}\dfrac{K}{{r}^{2}} d r

⇒V−10=K[12−13]⇒ V - 10 = K\left[\dfrac{1}{2} - \dfrac{1}{3}\right]

⇒V−10=K6⇒V=66+10⇒V=11Jkg−1⇒ V - 10 = \dfrac{K}{6} ⇒ V = \dfrac{6}{6} + 10 ⇒ V = 11J{kg}^{- 1}
