Dependence of intensity of gravitational field (E) of earth with distance (r) from centre of earth is correctly represented by

  • Option 1)

  • Option 2)

  • Option 3)

  • Option 4)

 

Answers (1)

As we learnt in

Gravitational field intensity due to Uniform solid sphere -

Outside surface left ( r>R 
ight )

I= frac{GM}{r^{2}}

* on the surface

r=R

I= frac{GM}{R^{2}}

- wherein

* Inside surface  r<R

 

I= frac{GMr}{R^{3}}

 

 

Intensity due to spherical shell -

R
ightarrow Radius of shell

r
ightarrow Position of Pt.

M
ightarrow Mass of spherical shell

- wherein

Outside the surface r>R

I= frac{GM}{r^{2}}

on the surface

r=R

I= frac{GM}{R^{2}}

inside the surface 

  r<R

I=0

 For the point inside the earth ( r < R)

E=\frac{-Gm}{R^{3}}r

At centre r = 0
               E = 0

Outside the earth ( r > R)

E=\frac{-Gm}{R^{2}}

on the surface for the earth ( r = R)

E=\frac{-Gm}{R^{2}}
