L3- Q1

A solid sphere of radius R applies a gravitational

force of attraction equal to F1 on a particle
placed at point P at distance 2R from center O
of sphere. Now a spherical cavity of radius R/2
is made in the sphere as shown in figure. The
sphere with cavity now applies gravitational
force F2 on the same particle at P. The ratio of
F2 /F1 will be

A plate of mass M1 = 1 kg & length L
meters is resting on a frictionless ground.
A frog of mass M2 = 200gms is seating at
right end of the plate. The frog jumps with
initial velocity u = 5 m/sec relative to
ground making angle of 45 0 with
horizontal. The frog just lands on left end
of the plate .Find length L of plate (g
=10m/sec2 ) (Ans = 3meters)

Split motion in two parts

1. Frog applies force on plate :Plate moves
toward right
2. Plate give equal & apposite reaction on
frog. Frog makes projectile motion to right
