A spherically symmetric gravitational system of particles has a mass density, 

ρ=ρ0  for  rR0    for  r>R 

where ρ0 is a constant. A test mass can undergo circular motion under the influence of the gravitational field of particles. Its speed V as a function of distance r (0<r<) from the centre of the system is represented by,

A planet of radius R=110× (radius of Earth) has the same mass density as Earth. Scientists dig a well of depth R5 on it and lower a wire of the same length and of linear mass density 103 kg m1 into it. If the wire is not touching anywhere, the force applied at the top of the wire by a person holding it in place is (take the radius of Earth = 6 × 106 m and the acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 10 m s2)
