Three equal masses are kept at vertices (A, B, C) of an equilateral triangle of side a in free space. At , they are given an initial velocity and . Here, and are unit vectors along the edges of the triangle. If the three masses interact gravitationally, then the magnitude of the net angular momentum of the system at the point of collision is :
Options
- A
- B a
- C a
- D a
Correct answer
C. a
Step-by-step solution
Angular momentum of one mass about point Net angular momentum about point $O\begin{aligned}
L_{\text{net }} & =32 \\
& =\frac{\sqrt{3} m v_0 a}{2}
\end{aligned}$$$
