Q98 / 125 · BITSAT 2013 · Physics

There is a shell of mass $\mathrm{M}$ and density of the shell is uniform. The work done to take a point mass from point $\mathrm{A}$ to $\mathrm{B}$ is $[\mathrm{AB}=\mathrm{r}]$ Figure

  • A
    $\frac{\mathrm{GmM}}{\mathrm{r}}$
  • B
    $\frac{\mathrm{GmM}}{\mathrm{R}}$
  • C
    $-\frac{\mathrm{GmM}}{\mathrm{r}}$
  • Correct answer
    D
    zero

Solution

Gravitaional field inside the shell is zero, so no work required.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
