Is this statement True or False:
"Gaussian elimination consists of two parts: Forward phase and backward phase. "
A charge of uniform linear density 2.80 nC/m is distributed along a long, thin, nonconducting rod. The rod is coaxial with a long
conducting cylindrical shell (inner radius = 5.60 cm, outer radius = 10.0 cm). The net charge on the shell is zero. (a) What is the
magnitude of the electric field at distance r = 15.6 cm from the axis of the shell? What is the surface charge density on the (b) inner and
(c) outer surface of the shell?
Figure a shows a long thin rod. A cylinder labeled shell has thick walls and surrounds the rod but does not touch it. Another cylinder
labeled Gaussian cylinder is around the shell but does not touch it. The Gaussian cylinder has a radius of r. The rod and both cylinders
share the same axis.

Because the formulas for Coulomb's law and Newton's law of gravity have the same
inverse-square law dependence on distance, a formula analogous to the formula for
Gauss's law can be found for gravity. The gravitational ficld g at a location is the force
per unit mass on a test mass mo placed at that location. (Then, for a point mass m
at the origin, the gravitational ficld g at some position 7 is g = - (GNm/r2)î.)
(a) Compute the flux of the gravitational field through a spherical surface of radius
r, and verify that the gravitational analog of Gauss's law is
dÃ= -4nGNMencl-
6.
(b) What do you think is the differential form of Gauss's law for gravitation?
(c) Determine the gravitational ficld, g, a distance r from the center of the Earth
(where r < Rp, where Rp is the radius of the Earth), assuming that the Earth's
density is uniform. Express your answer in terms of GN, the mass of the Earth,
МЕ, and Rp.
