Question

A thin spherical shell of mass $M$ and radius $R$ has a small hole. A particle of mass $m$ is released at its mouth. Then

• A. the particle will execute SHM inside the shell
• B. the particle will oscillate inside the shell, but the oscillations are not simple harmonic
• C. the particle will not oscillate, but the speed of the particle will go on increasing
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D none of these

Firstly ,given that it is a thin shell i.e hollow sphere then it will perform oscillation on SHM.

In case of solid sphere it performs SHM.
