Gravitation Question 315

Question: Three particles P, Q and R are placed as per . Masses of P, Q and R are $ [\sqrt{3}m,,,\sqrt{3}m] $ and m respectively. The gravitational force on a fourth particle S of mass m is equal to

Options:

A) $ [\frac{\sqrt{3}GM^{2}}{2d^{2}}] $ in ST direction only

B) $ [\frac{\sqrt{3}GM^{2}}{2d^{2}}] $ in SQ direction and $ [\frac{\sqrt{3}GM^{2}}{2d^{2}}] $ in SU direction

C) $ [\frac{\sqrt{3}GM^{2}}{2d^{2}}] $ in SQ direction only

D)$ [\frac{\sqrt{3}GM^{2}}{2d^{2}}] $ in SQ direction and $ [\frac{\sqrt{3}GM^{2}}{2d^{2}}] $ in ST direction

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • In horizontal direction $ [Net,force=\frac{G\sqrt{3}mm}{12d^{2}}\cos {{30}^{o}}-\frac{Gm^{2}}{4d}\cos {{60}^{o}}] $

    $ [=\frac{Gm^{2}}{8d^{2}}-\frac{Gm^{2}}{8d^{2}}=0] $

    In vertical direction, Net force $ [=\frac{G\sqrt{3}m^{2}}{12d^{2}}\cos {{60}^{o}}+\frac{G\sqrt{3}m^{2}}{3d^{2}}+\frac{Gm^{2}}{4d}\cos {{30}^{o}}] $

    $ [=\frac{\sqrt{3}Gm^{2}}{24d^{2}}+\frac{\sqrt{3}Gm^{2}}{3d^{2}}+\frac{\sqrt{3}Gm^{2}}{8d}] $

    $ [=\frac{\sqrt{3}Gm^{2}}{d^{2}}\left[ \frac{1+8+3}{24} \right]=\frac{\sqrt{3}Gm^{2}}{2d^{2}}] $ along SQ-
