The magnitudes of the gravitational field at distances $r_1$ and $r_2$ from the center of a uniform sphere of radius $R$ and mass $M$ are $F_1$ and $F_2$ respectively. Then:

  • A
    $\frac{F_1}{F_2} = \frac{r_1}{r_2}$ if $r_1 < R$ and $r_2 < R$
  • B
    $\frac{F_1}{F_2} = \frac{r_1}{r_2}$ if $r_1 > R$ and $r_2 > R$
  • C
    $\frac{F_1}{F_2} = \frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}$ if $r_1 < R$ and $r_2 < R$
  • D
    $\frac{F_1}{F_2} = \frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}$ if $r_1 > R$ and $r_2 > R$
