JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 7. gravitation
A body of mass (\(2 {M}\)) splits into four masses \(\{{m}, {M}-{m}, {m}, {M}-{m}\}\), which are rearranged to form a square as shown in the figure. The ratio of \(\frac{{M}}{{m}}\) for which, the gravitational potential energy of the system becomes maximum is \({x}: 1\). The value of \(x\) is ..... .
- A \(2\)
- B \(3\)
- C \(1\)
- D \(4\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Energy is maximum when mass is split equally so \(\frac{{M}}{{m}}=2\)
