Question

A spherical hole is made in a solid sphere of radius R. The mass of the sphere before hollowing was M. The gravitational field at the centre of the hole due to the remaining mass is

Zero
$\frac{G M}{8 R^{2}}$
$\frac{G M}{2 R^{2}}$
$\frac{G M}{R^{2}}$

The correct answer is: $fraction numerator G M over denominator 2 R squared end fraction$

$text By super position of fields end text E with not stretchy rightwards arrow on top equals E with not stretchy rightwards arrow on top subscript 1 plus E with not stretchy rightwards arrow on top subscript 2 E with not stretchy rightwards arrow on top equals text net field at the centre of hole due to entire mass end text E with not stretchy rightwards arrow on top subscript 1 equals text field due to remaining mass end text E with not stretchy bar on top subscript 2 equals text field due to mass in hole end text equals 0 text then end text E with not stretchy rightwards arrow on top subscript 1 equals E with not stretchy rightwards arrow on top equals open parentheses fraction numerator G M over denominator R cubed end fraction close parentheses r comma space of 1em r equals R over 2 text then end text E with not stretchy rightwards arrow on top equals open parentheses fraction numerator G M over denominator 2 R squared end fraction close parentheses$
