JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 7. gravitation

Four identical particles of mass \(m\) are kept at the four corners of a square. If the gravitational force exerted on one of the masses by the other masses is \(\left(\frac{2 \sqrt{2}+1}{32}\right) \frac{\mathrm{Gm}^2}{\mathrm{~L}^2}\), the length of the sides of the square is _______.

  1. A \(\frac{L}{2}\)
  2. B \(4 \mathrm{~L}\)
  3. C \(3 \mathrm{~L}\)
  4. D \(2 \mathrm{~L}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4 \mathrm{~L}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(F_{\text {net }}=\sqrt{2} F+F^{\prime}\) \(F=\frac{G m^2}{a^2} \text { and } F^{\prime}=\frac{G m^2}{(\sqrt{2} a)^2}\) \(F_{\text {net }}=\sqrt{2} \frac{G m^2}{a^2}+\frac{G m^2}{2 a^2}\)…
