Question

or E. 1 and 2 tie, then 4, then 3

A particle might be placed inside a uniform spherical shell of mass M, but not at the center inside a uniform spherical shell of mass M, at the center outside a uniform spherical shell of mass M, a distance r from the center outside a uniform solid sphere of mass M, a distance 2r from the center Rank these situations according to the magnitude of the gravitational force on the particle, least to greatest. All tie 1, 2, 3, 4 1 and 2 tie, then 3 and 4 tie 1 and 2 tie, then 3, then 4

Explanation / Answer

gravitational force in the case of 1 and 2 will be 0 and gravitational force decreases with increasing distance outside a spherical shell ( F= GMm/ r^2) so order is 1 and 2 then 4 then 3 please let me know if you need any further clarifications and please dont forget to rate my answer :)
