$A$ satellite of mass $m$ is at a distance $a$ from a star of mass $M$. The speed of the satellite is $u$. Suppose the law of universal gravity is $F = -G \frac{Mm}{r^{2.1}}$ instead of $F = -G \frac{Mm}{r^2}$. Find the speed of the satellite when it is at a distance $b$ from the star.

  • A
    $\sqrt{u^2 + 2GM \left( \frac{1}{b^{1.1}} - \frac{1}{a^{1.1}} \right)}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{u^2 + GM \left( \frac{1}{a^{1.1}} - \frac{1}{b^{1.1}} \right)}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{u^2 + \frac{2}{1.1} GM \left( \frac{1}{b^{1.1}} - \frac{1}{a^{1.1}} \right)}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{u^2 + \frac{2}{2.1} GM \left( \frac{1}{b^{1.1}} - \frac{1}{a^{1.1}} \right)}$

Take the mean distance of the moon and the sun from the earth to be $0.4 \times 10^6 \, km$ and $150 \times 10^6 \, km$ respectively. Their masses are $8 \times 10^{22} \, kg$ and $2 \times 10^{30} \, kg$ respectively. The radius of the earth is $6400 \, km$. Let $\Delta F_1$ be the difference in the forces exerted by the moon at the nearest and farthest points on the earth and $\Delta F_2$ be the difference in the force exerted by the sun at the nearest and farthest points on the earth. Then,the number closest to $\frac{\Delta F_1}{\Delta F_2}$ is

$A$ hemispherical shell of mass $2M$ and radius $6R$ and a point mass $M$ are performing circular motion due to their mutual gravitational interaction.
