Two objects of equal masses placed at certain distance from each other attracts each other with a force of \(F\). If one-third mass of one object is transferred to the other object, then the new force will be

  1. A \(\frac{2}{9}F\)
  2. B \(\frac{16}{9}F\)
  3. C \(\frac{8}{9}F\)
  4. D \(F\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{8}{9}F\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(F =\frac{ Gm ^{2}}{ r ^{2}}\) \(F ^{\prime}=\frac{ G \left(\frac{4 m }{3}\right) \times\left(\frac{2 m }{3}\right)}{ r ^{2}}\) \(F ^{\prime}=\frac{8}{9} F\)
