Example of gravitation | Learn Physics

Example of gravitation Gravitation Example . A solid sphere of lead has a mass M and radius R. A spherical cavity is made in it (fig.1) , the boundary passing through the centre O and also touching the boundary of the solid sphere, Find the gravitational force on a mass m placed at point P, distance r from O, along the line of ceneres. Solution : Let M be the mass and ρ be the density of the entire solid sphere. Let C be the centre of the spherical cavity. For an external point, the massive sphere behaves as if its entire mass is concentrated at its centre O. The gravitational attraction on a body of mass M at P due to complete solid sphere with centre at O is: F 1 =GMm/r 2 ; along PO The diameter of smaller sphere at place of hollow spherical cavity is R . Its radius is R/2. Therefore mass of this sphere is : M’ =(4/3)π(R/2) 3 ρ=(1/8){(4/3)πR 3 ρ}=M/8 The gravitational force on m due to this small sphere with centre at C is F 2 = GM’m/(r-R/2) 2 = {G(m/8)m}/(r-R/2) 2  ...

Example of rotational motion | Learn Physics

Example of rotational motion Example of rotational motion - A circular plate of uniform thickness has a diameter of 56 cm. A circular portion of diameter 42 cm is removed from one edge of the plate as shown in fig.1. Find the position of centre of mass of the remaining portion? Solution :   Area of whole plate = π (56/2) 2 = 784 π   sq. cm. Area of cutout portion = π (42/2) 2 = 441 π   sq. cm. Area of remaining portion, Fig 1 = 784 π – 441 π= 343 π cm 2 As mass is proportional to area Mass of cutout portion/mass of remaining portion =   m 1 /m 2 = 441 π/343 π= 9/7 Let C 2 be centre of mass of remaining portion and C 1 be centre of mass of cutout portion. O is centre of mass of the whole disc. OC 1 = r 1 = 28-21= 7 cm. OC 2   = r 2 = ? Equating moments of masses about O, we get m 2 × r 2 = m 1 × r 1 r 2 = 9
