Gravitation Question 324

Question: Four similar particles of mass m are orbiting in a circle of radius r in the same angular direction because of their mutual gravitational attractive force. Then, velocity of a particle is given by

Options:

A) [[Gmr(1+224)]12]

B) [Gmr]

C) [Gmr(1+22)]

D) [a[12Gmr(1+222)]12]

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • Centripetal force = net gravitational force

    [mv02r=2Fcos45o+F1=2Gm2(2)212+Gm4r2]

    [mv02r=Gm4r2[22+1]] [v0=[Gm(22+1)4r]12]
