JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 8th January Morning Slot - No. 1)

Consider two solid spheres of radii R1 = 1m, R2 = 2m and masses M1 and M2, respectively. The gravitational field due to sphere (1) and (2) are shown. The value of $${{{M_1}} \over {{M_2}}}$$ is : JEE Main 2020 (Online) 8th January Morning Slot Physics - Gravitation Question 145 English
$${2 \over 3}$$
$${1 \over 6}$$
$${1 \over 2}$$
$${1 \over 3}$$

Explanation

Gravitational field on the surface of a solid sphere

E = $${{GM} \over {{R^2}}}$$

By the graph

E1 = $${{G{M_1}} \over {R_1^2}}$$

and E2 = $${{G{M_2}} \over {R_2^2}}$$

$$ \therefore $$ $${{{E_1}} \over {{E_2}}} = {\left( {{{{R_2}} \over {{R_1}}}} \right)^2}\left( {{{{M_1}} \over {{M_2}}}} \right)$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${2 \over 3} = {\left( {{2 \over 1}} \right)^2}\left( {{{{M_1}} \over {{M_2}}}} \right)$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${{{{M_1}} \over {{M_2}}}}$$ = $${1 \over 6}$$
