Question 1.The mass density of a spherical galaxy K varies as K/r over a large distance 'r' from its centre. In that region, a small star is in a circular orbit of radius R. Then the period of revolution, T depends on R as:

  1. a) T2∝R
  2. b) T2∝R3
  3. c) T2∝ (1/R3)
  4. d) T ∝R

Solution:

  1. JEE Main 2020 Paper with Solutions Shift 1-2nd Sept

    Mass of galaxy =

    \(\int_{0}^{R}\rho dv\)

    =

    \(\int_{0}^{R}\frac{k}{r}4\pi r^{2} dv\)

    \(=4\pi k\int_{0}^{R}rdr\)

    \(M=\frac{4\pi kR^{2}}{2}=k_{1}R^{2}\)

    \(F =m\omega ^{2}R\)

    \(\frac{GMm}{R^{2}}=m\omega ^{2}R\)

    \(\frac{Gk_{1}R^{2}}{R^{2}}=\omega ^{2}R\)

    \(\omega ^{2}=\frac{k_{2}}{R}\)

    \(\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k_{2}}{R}}\)

    \(T=\frac{2\pi }{\omega }=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{R}{k_{2}}}\)
