A solid sphere of mass M and radius R is surrounded by a spherical shell of same mass and radius 2R as shown. A small particle of mass m is relased from rest from a height h`(lt lt R)` above the shell. There is a hole in the shell. Q. What time will it take to move from A to B?A. `=(4R^(2))/(sqrt(GMR))`B. `gt(4R^(2))/(sqrt(GMR))`C. `lt(4R^(2))/(sqrt(GMR))`D. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Given that `(h lt lt R)` so the velocity at A is also zero
we can see here that the acceleration always increases from 2 R to R its value must be greater than
`a=(GM)/(4R^(2))` (at A) `thereforetlt(v)/(a)impliestltsqrt((GM)/(R))xx(4R^(2))/(GM)impliestlt(4R^(2))/(sqrt(GMR))`
