In a solid sphere of massMand radiusR, a spherical cavity of radiusR2is made, such that the centre of cavity is at a distanceR2from the centre of the sphere. A point massmis placed inside the cavity, at a distanceR4from the centre of the sphere. The gravitational pull between the sphere and the point massmis

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

The gravitational field inside the cavity is uniform and at the centre of the cavity, it can be calculated as

Ecavity-Ecentre=GMR3R2-0=GM2R3

F=GMm2R3
