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

Given below are two statements : One is labeled as Assertion A and the other is labeled as Reason R.

Assertion A : If we move form poles to equator, the direction of acceleration due to gravity of earth always points towards the centre of earth without any variation in its magnitude.

Reason R : At equator, the direction of acceleration due to the gravity is towards the centre of earth.

In the light of above statements, chose the correct answer from the options given below

 g'=g−ω2Rsinθ

g' (at  θ=0  pole)=g

g' (at  θ=90°, equator)=g−ω2R

g decreases as we move bole to equator

So, A is false statement

But ‘R’ statement is true
