From a sphere of mass MM and radius R\mathrm{R}, a smaller sphere of radius R2\frac{\mathrm{R}}{2} is carved out such that the cavity made in the original sphere is between its centre and the periphery (See figure). For the configuration in the figure where the distance between the centre of the original sphere and the removed sphere is 3R, the gravitational force between the two sphere is: From a sphere of mass M and radius R , a smaller sphere of radius R 2 is carved out such that the cavity made in the

Options

  1. A41GM23600R2\frac{41 \mathrm{GM}^2}{3600 \mathrm{R}^2}
  2. B41GM2450R2\frac{41 \mathrm{GM}^2}{450 \mathrm{R}^2}
  3. C59GM2450R2\frac{59 \mathrm{GM}^2}{450 \mathrm{R}^2}
  4. DGM2225R2\frac{\mathrm{GM}^2}{225 \mathrm{R}^2}

Correct answer

A. 41GM23600R2\frac{41 \mathrm{GM}^2}{3600 \mathrm{R}^2}

Step-by-step solution

Volume of removed sphere Vremo =43π(R2)3=43πR3(18)V_{\text{remo }}=\frac{4}{3} \pi\left(\frac{R}{2}\right)^3=\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3\left(\frac{1}{8}\right) Volume of the sphere (remaining) \begin{aligned} &V_{\text{remain }}=\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3-\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3\left(\frac{1}{8}\right) \\ &=\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3\left(\frac{7}{8}\right) \end{aligned} Therefore mass of sphere carved and remaining sphere are at respectively 18M\frac{1}{8} \mathrm{M} and 78M\frac{7}{8} \mathrm{M} Therefore, gravitational force between these two sphere, F=GMmr2F=\frac{G \mathrm{M} m}{r^2}\begin{aligned} &=\frac{G \frac{7 M}{8} \times \frac{1}{8} M}{(3 R)^2}=\frac{7}{64 \times 9} \frac{G M^2}{R^2} \\ &\simeq \frac{41}{3600} \frac{\mathrm{GM}^2}{\mathrm{R}^2} \end{aligned}
