Two spheres of masses \(M_1\) and \(M_2\) are in air separated by a distance of d m. The gravitational force of attraction between them is F. If the space around the masses is filled with a liquid of density \(\rho\), the force between the masses will be

  1. A \(F\)
  2. B zero
  3. C \(\dfrac{F}{\rho}\)
  4. D \(\rho F\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(F\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The gravitational force of attraction between two masses \(M_1\) and \(M_2\) separated by a distance \(d\) is given by Newton's law of gravitation as \(F = \dfrac{G M_1 M_2}{d^2}\). The universal gravitational constant \(G\) is independent of the nature of the intervening…
