MCQ
Gravitational force between two identical uniform solid gold spheres of radius r reach in contact is proportional to
  • $r^4$
  • B
    $r^2$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{{{r^2}}}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{{{r^3}}}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$r^4$
a
$\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{Gm}^{2}$

$(2 \mathrm{r})^{2}$

$\mathrm{m}=\rho \times \frac{4}{3} \pi \mathrm{r}^{3}$

$\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{G} \rho^{2} \times \frac{16 \pi^{2}}{9} \times \frac{\mathrm{r}^{6}}{4 \mathrm{r}^{2}} \propto \mathrm{r}^{4}$
