A small point of mass \(m\) is placed at a distance \(2R\) from the center \(O\) of a big uniform solid sphere of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\). The gravitational force on \(m\) due to \(M\) is \(F_1\). A spherical part of radius \(R/3\) is removed from the big sphere as shown in the figure, and the gravitational force on \(m\) due to the remaining part of \(M\) is found to be \(F_2\). The value of the ratio \( F_1 : F_2 \) is:

Concepts Used:
Gravitation
In mechanics, the universal force of attraction acting between all matter is known as Gravity, also called gravitation, . It is the weakest known force in nature.
Newton’s Law of Gravitation
According to Newton’s law of gravitation, “Every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force whose magnitude is,
- F ∝ (M1M2) . . . . (1)
- (F ∝ 1/r2) . . . . (2)
On combining equations (1) and (2) we get,
F ∝ M1M2/r2
F = G × [M1M2]/r2 . . . . (7)
Or, f(r) = GM1M2/r2
The dimension formula of G is [M-1L3T-2].
