On the  x -axis and at a distance x  from the origin, the gravitational field due to a mass distribution is given by A x x 2 + a 2 3 / 2  in the x  -direction. The magnitude of gravitational potential on the x  -axis at a distance x  , taking its value to be zero at infinity is:

Option 1 -

A x 2 + a 2 1 / 2

Option 2 -

A x 2 + a 2 3 / 2

Option 3 -

A x 2 + a 2 3 / 2

Option 4 -

A x 2 + a 2 1 / 2

    Correct Option - 4


    Detailed Solution:

    g = A x x 2 + a 2 3 / 2  

    v 0 ? d V = - x ? g d x

    O - V = - A x a 2 + x 2 3 / 2

    Let, a 2 + x 2 = t 2

    2 x d x = 2 t d t

    x d x = t d t

    V = A t d t t 3 - A t - A a 2 + x 2 x

    V = A a 2 + x 2

 g'=gω2Rsinθ

g' (atθ=0pole)=g

g' (atθ=90°, equator)=gω2R

g decreases as we move bole to equator
