fluid 2

an interstellar explorer discovers a remarkable planet made entirely of uniform compressible fluid of density ρ.the radius of the planet is `r` and the gravity at its surface is `g`. wats the pressure at the centre of the planet?

gravity at its surface is `g`. wat do u mean by this ???

i mena wat question means. u know my phy na [119]

we have dP=-GMλxdx/R3

so we have P=P0+GMλ/2R

but P0=0

but we have g=GM/r2

thus we get λ as 3g/4πGr

solving it we get P

rohan
we can find λ theoretically itself

its actually =ρ only!!
so i guess we need to represent P in terms of ρ,g,r and not use G

final ans= gρr/2 is it correct b555 ?

yes language is wrong it shud read as

acc due to gravity is g

Rohan Ghosh ·

but celestine λ is not mentioned so you need to convert it in terms of given quantities

we get thus answer as g*(3g/4Ï€Gr)*r/2=3g2/8Ï€G

rohan u can derive λ=ρ easily and moreover u r not supposed to give final ans in G as its unknown here !!!!

we know only g,ρ,r !!

oops didnt see that p was already mentioned in problem

but one thing celes , G is a universal constant isnt it?

CELESTINE U R CORRECT. U GOT RITE ANSWER

pressure at any distance x from the centre is given by

dp(4pi x2)=-(4/3pix3)d*G*d*(4pix2)dr/r2
{i know its my fault for not using the edittor)
we basically have
dp=-4/3piGd2 rdr
integrating with proper limits gives us the presure at the centre as
GMd/2R =dgR/2
cheers!!

yes it is universal constant but then its value isnt mentioned in prob

well actually i didnt see that p was already mentioned in problem ... that is why i was going about that way ..
