Question

A spherically symmetric gravitational system of particles has a mass density ρ={ρ0 for rR0 for r>R
where ρ0 is a constant. A test mass can undergo circular motion under the influence of the gravitational field of particles. Its speed V as a function of distance r(0<r<) from the centre of the system is represented by

Solution

The correct option is C


Using the equation for centripetal force on test mass for a point inside the sphere
For r<R
GMrR3=mV2r
Vr
Using the equation for centripetal force on test mass for a point outside the sphere
for rRGMr2=mV2r
V21r
