A particle of mass m is placed at the centre of a unifrom spherical shell of mass 3 m and radius R The gravitational potential on the surface of the shell is .A. `(GM)/( R)`B. `-(GM)/ ( R)`C. `-(4GM)/(R )`D. `-(2GM)/(R )`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
( c) Gravitational potential on the surface of the shell is V=Gravitational potential due to particle `(V_(1))`+ Gravitational potential due to shell itself `(V_(2))`
`=-(GM)/( R)+(-(G3m)/(R ))= - (4Gm)/(R )`
