Question

Consider two solid uniform spherical objects of the same density . One has radius R and the other has radius R. They are in outer space where the gravitational fields from other objects are negligible. If they are arrange with their surface touching, what is the contact force between the objects due to their traditional attraction?

Correct option is B)

Given Data 
Radius of sphere 1 is R 
Radius of sphere 2 is 2R
Density in P 
Distance between Two sphere in
We know that 
Density [For uni form spherical objects]
mass = volume Density 
volume of sphere in given be
mass of sphere 1 in
mass of sphere 2 in
From Theorem of Gravitation  


Hence
