CBSEENPH11020715

The dependence of acceleration due to gravity g on the distance r from the centre of the earth assumed to be a sphere of radius R of uniform density is as shown in figure below



The correct figure is

  • (4) 

  • (1)

  • (2)

  • (3)

Solution

A.

(4) 

because space straight g space proportional to space straight r space space left parenthesis if space straight r space less than straight R right parenthesis
and space straight g space proportional to space 1 over straight r squared space left parenthesis if space straight r greater than space straight R right parenthesis
So, the correct figure will be
