Gravitation Question 127
Question: There are two bodies of masses 100 kg and 10000 kg separated by a distance 1 m. At what distance from the smaller body, the intensity of gravitational field will be zero [BHU 1997]
Options:
A) $ [\frac{1}{9}m] $
B) $ [\frac{1}{10}m] $
C) $ [\frac{1}{11}m] $
D) $ [\frac{10}{11}m] $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
$ [\frac{G\times 100}{x^{2}}=\frac{G\times 10000}{{{(1-x)}^{2}}}] $ $ [\Rightarrow ,,\frac{10}{x}=\frac{100}{1-x},\Rightarrow ,x=\frac{1}{11}m] $
