Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}=\mathrm{G} \frac{\mathrm{m}_1 \mathrm{~m}_2}{\mathrm{r}^3} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Vector form of law of gravitation is given as \[ \overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}=\mathrm{G} \frac{\mathrm{m}_1 \mathrm{~m}_2}{\mathrm{r}^2} \hat{\mathrm{r}} \] As, \(\hat{r}=\frac{\vec{r}}{r}\)…
