Three identical particle \(A , B\) and \(C\) of mass \(100\, kg\) each are placed in a straight line with \(AB = BC =13 \,m\). The gravitational force on a fourth particle \(P\) of the same mass is \(F\), when placed at a distance \(13 \,m\) from the particle \(B\) on the perpendicular bisector of the line \(AC\). The value of \(F\) will be approximately\(....G\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(100\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(F =\frac{ GMM }{ r ^{2}}+\sqrt{2} \frac{ GMM }{(\sqrt{2 r })^{2}}\)

\(=\frac{ GMM }{ r ^{2}}\left(1+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\)

\(=\frac{ G \times 10^{4}}{13^{2}}\left(1+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\)

\(F \simeq 100 G\)
