Three identical particle A,BA, B and CC of mass 100kg100kg each are placed in a straight line with AB=BC=13mAB = BC = 13m. The gravitational force on a fourth particle PP of the same mass is FF, when placed at a distance 13m13m from the particle BB on the perpendicular bisector of the line ACAC. The value of FF will be approximatelyThree identical particle A, B and C of mass 100kg each are placed in a straight line with AB = BC = 13m . The

Correct answer

B. 100G100G

Step-by-step solution

Given here, m=100kgm = 100kg

Three identical particle A, B and C of mass 100kg each are placed in a straight line with AB = BC = 13m . The

Gravitational force, FAP=Gm2(132)2{F}_{AP} = \dfrac{G{m}^{2}}{{\left(13\sqrt{2}\right)}^{2}},

FBP=Gm2(13)2{F}_{BP} = \dfrac{G{m}^{2}}{{\left(13\right)}^{2}} and FCP=Gm2(132)2{F}_{CP} = \dfrac{G{m}^{2}}{{\left(13\sqrt{2}\right)}^{2}}

Net gravitational force,

{F}_{net} = {F}_{BP} + {F}_{AP}\cos 45 ° + {F}_{CP}\cos 45 °

=G×104132(1+12)= \dfrac{G × {10}^{4}}{{13}^{2}}\left(1 + \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)

F≃100GF ≃ 100G
