SamplePhysics· MCQ+4 / -1

A small point of mass

m

is placed at a distance

2 R

from the centre

O

of a big uniform solid sphere of mass

M

and radius

R

. The gravitational force on

m

due to

M

F_{1}

. A spherical part of radius

\frac{R}{3}

is removed from the big sphere as shown in the figure and the gravitational force on

m

due to remaining part of

M

is found to be

F_{2}

. The value of ratio

F_{1} : F_{2}

A large circle labelled M with its centre marked by a dot and lettered O. A much smaller circle is drawn inside it near the right-hand edge, touching the rim from the inside. Just outside that rim, on the same horizontal line, is a dot labelled P with the letter m beneath it. A double-headed arrow runs along that horizontal line from O out to P and is labelled 2R.

A. $16 : 9$
