Q 3. Two concentric shells of uniform density of mass M1 and M2 are situated as shown in the figure. The forces experienced by a particle of mass m when placed at positions A, B and C respectively are (given OA = p, OB = q and OC = r) A z e r o , G M 1 m q 2 a n d G M 1 + M 2 m p 2 B G M 1 + M 2 m p 2 , G M 1 + M 2 m q 2 a n d G M 1 m r 2 C G M 1 m q 2 , G M 1 + M 2 m p 2 a n d z e r o D G M 1 + M 2 m p 2 , G M 1 m q 2 , a n d z e r o Share with your friends Share 15 Shobhit Mittal answered this Dear Student, Csince the point lies inside the cavity of both the shell the field will be zero .hence force on the particle C will be zero.BB lies inside the cavity of outer shell hence the field due to outer shell will be zero their . the force is held by mass M1F=GM1mq2Athis point lies out side the shells . take all the mass at the point O.F=GM1+M2mp2option DRegards 17 View Full Answer
