Vedclass · Answer

$(a)$ For a spherical shell of radius $r$ and thickness $d r$, weight of layer is balanced by pressure on layer.

$	herefore \quad$ Weight $=\{p-(p+\Delta p)\} 4 \pi r^{2}$

$\Rightarrow \quad m g=-\Delta p \cdot 4 \pi r^{2}$

$\Rightarrow 4 \pi r^{2} \cdot d r \cdot ho \cdot g=-\Delta p \cdot 4 \pi r^{2} \Rightarrow-\Delta p=ho g d r$

$\Rightarrow \quad-\Delta p=ho^{2} \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi R d r$

So, $\quad p_{ av }=\frac{1}{R} \int \limits_{0}^{R} \Delta p=\frac{4}{3} \pi ho^{2} R \int \limits_{0}^{R} d r$

$=\frac{4}{3} \frac{\pi M R \cdot R}{(V)^{2}}$

$=\frac{4}{3} \pi \cdot \frac{M R^{2}}{\left(\frac{4}{3} \pi R^{3}ight)^{2}}$

$\Rightarrow \quad p_{ av }=\frac{3}{4 \pi} \cdot \frac{M}{R^{4}}$

$\Rightarrow \quad p_{ av } \propto \frac{1}{R^{4}}$
