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

Options

  1. A29F\dfrac{2}{9}F
  2. B169F\dfrac{16}{9}F
  3. C89F\dfrac{8}{9}F
  4. DFF

Correct answer

C. 89F\dfrac{8}{9}F

Step-by-step solution

The gravitational force between particles is given by, F=Gm1m2r2F = \dfrac{G{m}_{1}{m}_{2}}{{r}^{2}}

∵F=Gm2r2∵ F = \dfrac{G{m}^{2}}{{r}^{2}}

When one-third mass is transferred to other object

m1=2m3,m2=4m3{m}_{1} = \dfrac{2m}{3}, {m}_{2} = \dfrac{4m}{3}

F2=8Gm29r2{F}_{2} = \dfrac{8G{m}^{2}}{9{r}^{2}}

⇒F2=89F⇒ {F}_{2} = \dfrac{8}{9}F
