JEE Advanced 2022 Physics question
Two spherical stars and have densities and , respectively. and have the same radius, and their masses and are related by . Due to an interaction process, star loses some of its mass, so that its radius is halved, while its spherical shape is retained, and its density remains . The entire mass lost by is deposited as a thick spherical shell on with the density of the shell being . If and are the escape velocities from and after the interaction process, the ratio . The value of is .
Solution
Let the common radius be . With density unchanged and radius halved, A's mass becomes ; the mass lost, , has volume (density ). Deposited on B as a shell: $43π(R'^3- = 78·43π ⇒ R'^3 = ⇒
