Q16JEE Main 2008 · AIEEEDifficult

Gravitational Field · Field intensity & null point

This question contains Statement - 11 and Statement - 22. of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements.

Statement - 11:

For a mass MM kept at the center of a cube of side ′a′'a', the flux of gravitational field passing through its sides 4πGM.4\pi GM.

Statement - 2:

If the direction of a field due to a point source is radial and its dependence on the distance ′r′'r' from the source is given as 1r2,\frac{1}{r^2}, its flux through a closed surface depends only on the strength of the source enclosed by the surface and not on the size or shape of the surface.
