Central Force

Central force is the force that acts along the center of mass of one body to the center of mass of another body. Its direction from or away from a point on a body to another is called the center of the force. Such forces include gravitational force between two massive objects or electrostatic forces between two charged particles. So from atoms to planets, the central forces play an important role in shaping our daily lives. One of the remarkable features of central forces is that they are conservative, i.e. the total energy of a central force system can always be expressed as a gradient of a potential energy function.

IIISuppose a large spherical object, such as a planet, with radius R and mass M has a narrow tunnel passing diametrically through it. A particle of mass m is inside the tunnel at a distance x less than or equal to R from thecenter. It can be shown that the net gravitational force on the particlei sdue entirely to the sphere of mass with radius r ≤ ;x there is no netgravitational force from the mass in the spherical shell with r > .x a. Find an expression for the gravitational force on the particle,assuming the object has uniform density. Your expression willbe in terms of ,x R, m, M, and any necessary constants.b. You should have found that the gravitational force is a linear restoring force. Consequently, in the absence ofair resistance, objects in the tunnel will oscillate with SHM.
